College with good financial aid/scholarships in CA?

Go to each college’s web site and search for net price calculator. Use it to get an estimate of financial aid and net price for you.

Generally, UCs have pretty good in-state financial aid, although there will be a student contribution of $8,000 to $10,000 per year (typically $5,500 federal direct loan plus some work earnings). CSUs that you can commute to may be cheaper than UCs. But check the net price calculators.
