Tech Tuesday: Financial Aid Apps

If you’re looking to get financial aid at UC Davis, your life is about deadlines and forms. According to the UC Davis Financial Aid office, for undergrads the deadline for Short- Term Loans comes up May 4th and the deadline for federal financial aid is May 15th.

We’ve got a few suggestions for great financial aid apps for UC Davis students.

FAME Financial Aid MaximizEr by Turbo Tuition, Inc. asks you questions and then gives you a number of strategies you can deploy to get the UC Davis Financial Aid you seek. This app doesn’t have a lot of reviews but the ones it does have are positive.

Scholarships.com, meanwhile, is a newly updated comprehensive database of all the state, federal and obscure scholarships out there. The great thing about scholarships is that you don’t have to pay them back, so a look through this app or its companion site is definitely worth your time.

If you don’t have an iPhone or iPad, you can find the Android or Windows Phone version of these apps (as well as other college financial aid apps for IOS), at this page from App Crawler.
