Financial Aid

Students eligible for Financial Aid will receive a somewhat higher allocation based on expected costs in Washington. Additional funding comes from a scholarship program (President's Washington Scholarship, provided by the UC Office of the President) designed to enhance student participation in the UCDC program. The goals of the program are to ensure that qualified applicants have an equal opportunity to participate, and that internship participants reflect the diversity of the University's student population. The Presidents Washington Scholarship funds will be available to students who:

  • have applied to and been accepted by UCSC's UCDC program;
  • qualify for financial aid as determined by University financial aid offices;
  • are in good academic standing.
