<p>UC’s are funded by California taxpayers, so California students are given financial aid. The same goes for Florida schools. If an applicant from California wants to attend school in Florida, they have to pay extra Out of State tuition and would not be eligible for financial aid given to in-state Florida students. If you are in need of financial aid, your in-state school would be your best option. If you are set on attending school in California, you need high Stats and would have to look at private schools not publics.</p>
