The UC Native American Opportunity Plan  (NAOP)provides financial aid support for California students enrolled in state-supported programs who are also enrolled in federally recognized Native American, American Indian and Alaska Native tribes.

Online MBA students may be eligible to receive a scholarship allocated over the course of their program. Note that the NAOP is a guaranteed minimum of financial aid. Financial awards will not be added if a student has an existing scholarship package that exceeds the NAOP commitment. Students must submit the eligibility affidavit and documentation on the UC Davis Financial Aid and Scholarships website to confirm eligibility. For more information and eligibility requirements, please speak with your admissions counselor.
