I've been looking into UC Davis and I really like the campus, but I'm a little bit stressed about tuition costs. Can anyone give me a general idea of how much it costs for both in-state and out-of-state students? Also, is there financial aid available for students in need?
Casual: Hey there! UC Davis is a great school and I can understand why you're interested in it. As for the tuition costs, they vary depending on whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student. In-state students can expect to pay around $13,752 per year for tuition and fees, while out-of-state students pay about $32,574 per year for tuition and fees. Keep in mind that these are the numbers for the 2023-2024 academic year, so it's best to check the school's website for the most updated figures.
In addition to tuition, you'll have other expenses to keep in mind like housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses. These can add anywhere from $18,000 to $22,000 to your total yearly costs.
Regarding financial aid, yes, UC Davis does offer financial assistance for students in need. They provide need-based grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study opportunities to eligible students. You should definitely fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to see what kind of financial aid package you may be eligible for. The UC application even has a section for you to apply for UC-specific scholarships.
Good luck with your college search and I hope you find the financial support you need to attend your dream school!
