Financial Aid
Paying for higher education, and navigating financial aid options, can feel overwhelming for many students. The Office of Financial Aid is here to help make the process easier.
Scholarships, federal loan programs, federal work study, and programs for veterans may be available to you to help fund your education.
You need to reapply each year for financial aid. Information below is for new students or first-time borrowers. Current students should see the TouroOne portal for specific information for them.

Loans
You may need to borrow money to finance your degree. We can help you go over your borrowing options and student loans.
Scholarships
Touro University California has several scholarships available to our students. We encourage you to apply! Our goal is to help you complete your education with as little financial stress as possible. The financial aid office is also here to help point you in the direction of non-Touro scholarship opportunities to help you build a solid and supportive financial aid portfolio.
Federal Work Study
The purpose of the Federal Work-Study program is to stimulate and promote part-time employment, particularly for those with great financial need.
Part-time positions available through the Federal Work-Study Program involve work at the University occasionally in another private non-profit organization.
Veterans Programs
At Touro University California, we're committed to helping veterans and active duty members of the military attain their educational goals. Our financial aid team will support and guide you through federal programs available as well as the application process. Begin your journey on the VA Education webpage, then reach out to the Registrar's Office for further assistance.
