Chancellor scholarships are mainly reserved for in-state applicants (campus dependent). There are other merit scholarships like the Dean’s scholarship’s (UCI which is around $5000/year) and UCD has the Provost award for OOS students specifically (up to $13000+) In general, UC’s give good need-based aid to in-state applicants.
As an OOS applicant should expect to pay full fees at around $60K/year to attend since most merit scholarships would still be a drop in the bucket towards the UC costs.
