Need financial help?
If you need financial assistance to pay for a computer and internet service, UCSF Student Financial Aid 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 Monday, August 1, 2011.
- Make the purchases in your own name.
- Charge the purchases to a credit card, or if you cannot or prefer not to charge, obtain an itemized estimate, including taxes.
- You'll need to provide electronic copies of your paid receipts or written estimates. If you have more than one document, combine them into a single PDF file or ZIP file.
- Complete the Educational Expense Request Form.
If you have questions about financial assistance, contact Student Financial Aid at finaid@ucsf.edu or 415/476-4181 before you purchase the computer.
