Really happy for you and your son as I’ve also been following your journey. My friend’s son is doing so well at CalPoly in CS. We’re across the bay from you. And there’s a bus that takes kids back and forth so your son can visit often. It’s like Google bus with wifi.

Only issue so far is lack of any financial award. They added EFC and student loans to make it whole.
UC Davis financial award shows we getting Middle Class Scholaship which is missing from SLO. Someone mentioned that SLO numbers will be updated after all decisions are out(end of month).

Remember it’s all about net price. Cal Poly’s list price is less, so they’re less likely to give the same aid.

cal poly is almost as expensive as UC’s.
i guess they are most expensive cal state.
middle class scholarship - how do you get that?
thanks
Last time I checked, Cal Poly was 2k less than SDSU (COA) and 7k less than any of the UCs. It’s an exceptional value honestly.

I was wondering that too. Is it income and assets below a certain amount? And would home equity count against middle income?

You can typically waive out of UC health insurance by showing that the student has coverage through the parent. After ACA, adults can be on their parent’s policy until 26.

Middle class scholarship amounts are estimates and are awarded in August.
We have Kaiser. We were able to use that and waive out of student health insurance at most of the schools. At SLO and UCSB, we would have had to pay for student health insurance because there were no Kaiser facilities.
