Financial Aid
UCDC participants enroll in 12 UCLA units, maintaining full-time student status, which allows financial aid to be disbursed as it would be during a regular on-campus quarter. Our program works closely with the UCLA Financial Aid Office to ensure that each student’s aid package aligns with the cost of living and studying in Washington, D.C.
