FINANCIAL AID & TUITION
Funding Support
There are loan options that can help with your tuition, providing financial flexibility to cover educational costs. These loans are designed to make your academic journey more accessible, allowing you to focus on your studies without the immediate financial burden.
Federal & Private Loans
Students have access to both federal and private loans to finance their education. Our advisors are available to guide you through the application process and help you explore the loan options that best fit your needs.
In order to be considered for federal financial aid as a graduate student, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and request that your information be sent to the University of California, Irvine, school code 001314. Once you have received your Financial Aid Award Notification, please go to UCI financial aid and select 'My Aid' in the top right-hand corner to complete the process.
International Students
International students are encouraged to explore private loan options or external scholarships. While federal loans may not be available, we are committed to helping you identify resources that can support your education.
Military & Veterans
Veterans and active military members are eligible for financial assistance through the UCI Veterans Services and other scholarship opportunities. Contact our office to learn more about the benefits available to you.
