Financial Assistance
Financial aid may be available to eligible students, but options are limited for students in self-supporting MAS programs.
Students enrolled in 6 or more units per quarter may be eligible for certain financial aid programs. Students enrolled in fewer than 6 units per quarter are not eligible for campus financial aid.
Because the MAS MCN is a self-supporting program, state-funded financial aid is not available. However, some federally funded and private-lender options may be available through the UC Davis Financial Aid Office.
Financial aid deadlines and eligibility requirements vary.

Tax Deductibility of Educational Expenses
Educational expenses—including registration fees, travel, meals and lodging-may be deductible if they maintain or improve professional skills or meet the explicit requirement of an individual's employer.
UC Davis Department of Nutrition reserves the right to cancel or reschedule courses and to change instructors. Though not common, if a course is canceled or rescheduled, you may request an official transfer to another course or a refund. Every reasonable effort will be made to notify enrollees of changes or cancellations. The UC Davis MCN Program is a self-supporting program, funded entirely by student tuition.
If you have questions about the Master of Advanced Study in Maternal and Child Nutrition Graduate Program, contact the MCN Graduate Program Coordinator.
