Why choose UC Davis?
Making it all work: financial aid, housing and health insurance

Financial aid. Don't let the costs of medical school hinder your decision to become a physician. The UC Davis School of Medicine financial aid office provides prospective and enrolled students with plenty of information and resources to help financially support your educational goals.

Our financial aid staff also will help you find other grants and scholarships to defray the cost of medical school.
