UCSC Financial Aid Emergency Advance Program

UCSC Financial Aid Emergency Advance Program

The Financial Aid Emergency Advance is a resource available to assist UCSC students experiencing temporary difficulties meeting their financial obligations due to a delay in the disbursement of their financial aid. The Financial Aid Emergency Advance is made against yet-to-be disbursed current quarter institutional, state and federal funds. Approved advances are typically for small amounts- usually less than $500- and are expected to normally be repaid within 20 days. Funds are meant to be used for educational expenses included in the cost of attendance (such as tuitions, fees, food, housing, etc.).

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for a Financial Aid Emergency Advance you must:

• Complete the Financial Aid Emergency Advance Application

• Be a registered UCSC student enrolled in the current quarter

• Have enough pending institutional, state or federal funds to cover the full amount of the request

The Financial Aid Emergency Advance Application can be obtained by visiting our  Financial Aid and Scholarship Office located at 205 Hahn Building.
