Need financial help?

If you need financial assistance to pay for a computer, UCSF Student Financial Services may be able to help. The funding source is an additional student loan, usually a Federal Stafford Loan. The loan will not be disbursed in a single check but will be divided equally by the number of quarters enrolled during the academic year.

To receive a loan to cover computer costs, you must:

Purchase the computer and/or related equipment on or after Friday, August 1, 2008.
Make the purchase(s) in your own name.
Charge the purchase(s) to a credit card, or if you cannot or prefer not to charge, obtain an itemized estimate, including taxes.
Complete the Computer Funding Request Form (PDF, 1 page, 50 KB, Requires Adobe Reader).
Return the form with your paid receipt(s) or written estimate(s) to Student Financial Services.

If you have questions about financial assistance, contact Student Financial Services at finaid@saa.ucsf.edu or 415/476-4181 before you purchase the computer.
