Blue and Gold: UC financial aid

Blue and Gold is our commitment to offering financial aid that greatly benefits all California students and provides cost predictability to all students.

What's offered 

  • Tuition Coverage: Most California families that earn up to $100,000 receive enough grant and scholarship funds to cover their UC tuition. Note: Campus fees and summer tuition are not covered.

  • Minimized Student Debt: With an average aid package including up to $22,000 in grants and scholarships, many California students are able to work part-time to cover their remaining costs, allowing them to graduate with minimal debt and often times debt-free.

  • Tuition Predictability: As a UC student, your tuition amount will be set when you first enroll and will remain the same for up to six years.
