UC Davis Grant and Scholarship Program

The School of Veterinary Medicine has a robust scholarship and grant program. We annually award approximately 700 scholarships, provide externship funding to 4th year students, and return approximately $4 million to all students paying tuition and fees in the form of fee grants. For the average student, this cumulative support over four years covers the equivalent of a full year of tuition and fees. This outstanding support is made possible thanks to the generosity of the School’s many individual, organizational and corporate friends.
