Grants
Grants are financial aid that you do not need to pay back. Grants are awarded from federal, state, and university funds according to your financial need.
Scholarships
UCSF offers a variety of scholarships that can help you fund your education. In addition, you can search for outside scholarships to help with your educational expenses.
Loans
Loans can be a critical part of your education financing plan. They are a great resource when used conservatively and wisely. We encourage you to carefully consider whether or not you really need to borrow, and if you do, to borrow as little as necessary.
