Financial aid and fees

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and UC Davis are committed to overcoming barriers to graduate education—such as significant tuition costs and loss of income—to ensure the best and brightest students who share the vision to transform health care through nursing education and research are prepared as future leaders in health care, health policy, education and research.

Each student admitted to the master's and doctoral degree programs at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing receives generous financial support for tuition/fees and additional expenses. This generous financial support for graduate nursing students is made possible by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation’s $100 million commitment to the school and additional scholarship sources.

Master's degree students receive a $40,000 scholarship over two years to go toward tuition and fees. Out-of-state and international packages are examined and approved on an individual basis.

Doctoral degree students receive $50,000 per academic year for four years. This support fully covers fees and tuition with the remainder intended as a stipend to help offset loss of income while concentrating on doctoral studies.

Financial packages are finalized with each offer of admission.

Tuition and fees for the Nursing Science and Health-Care Leadership Graduate Degree Program are set by University of California Board of Regents and can change without notice. Tuition is based on residency as well as degree type (i.e. academic or professional). Please visit http://budget.ucdavis.edu/studentfees for more information.

Financial aid for graduate study at UC Davis (in addition to that provided by the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing) is available in several forms. There are different procedures for applying for each type of financial assistance. It is essential  students to apply as early as possible for financial support. All Nursing Science and Health-Care Leadership students are encouraged to seek a variety of forms of financial support. For more information, visit UC Davis Health System Financial Aid Office.

There are a variety of fellowships available for students from different backgrounds, research areas and years of graduate study. These fellowships are competitive funds for graduate students across the entire UC Davis campus. Please check if you qualify for any of the current funding opportunities. All applications must be submitted by Dec. 1, 2012. For more information visit the Office of Graduate Studies, Internal Fellowship website.
