| Graduate Student Fees | $4,555.12 | $4,555.12 | $4,555.12 | $13,665.36 |

Fees for one year (3 quarters) of study thus amount to approximately $13,257.36 for California residents and $28,359.36 for international students and for nonresident U.S. citizens. The latter, if financially independent of parental support, can become exempt from tuition costs during the second year of graduate study by making appropriate arrangements to establish residency in California. Applicants with excellent academic records and those awarded teaching assistantships can apply for Nonresident Tuition Fellowships.
Financial Aid
All Graduate students who are U.S. Citizens or Eligible Non-Citizens are required to apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). UC Davis will use the information you provide on the FAFSA to determine your need and to provide you with financial aid (if you are eligible). The Priority Filing Period for 2010–11 is January 1 through March 1, 2011, for all types of funding, which may include fellowships, block grants, scholarships, stipends, loans, Work-Study funds, Teaching Assistantships or Graduate Student Researcher fee remissions, and Direct Loans.
