<p>I am an international student who belongs to a very poor family. I am very interested in UC's Co-op program. It claims that students can earn upto $40,000 or more working and NOT pay tuition during their co-op. Roughly $40,000 will be needed to be spent each year to pay for room,tuition etc. If I work full-time in co-op and hence don't pay tuition, I can finance everything for the year.</p>

<p>Students cannot take co-op in the first year. So, I'll have to pay all the fees minus the UC Global scholarship for the first year. But after the first year, can I really afford to attend UC by relying on co-op and campus, part-time jobs to fund ALL my expenses?</p>

<p>My family cannot pay more than ~$2000 per year.</p>

<p>The $40,000 they quote is earnings over a 5-year co-op program. It’s not $40,000/year.</p>

<p>Scholarships and financial aid can help reduce the cost if you qualify. You probably need to apply and see what they offer.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
