We’re ready when you are

You've got what it takes to get a UC degree. So what are you waiting for? Find everything you need to apply to the best public university system in the world.
A UC degree opens our students to a lifetime of opportunity. And with one of the best financial aid programs anywhere, we make sure those opportunities are open to everyone.
And 68% receive grants and scholarships (money that you don’t need to repay).

Most California families earning up to $100,000, and that qualify for financial aid, pay no tuition.
