<p>Regents’ Scholarship at the various UCs (they do give those to transfers as well as frosh; it basically replaces the $8,500 student contribution with additional grant / scholarship</p>
<p>UCB…I know that’s true for some of the lower UCs, but don’t you have to have demonstrated need to get the larger Regents at the top UCs? I’ve heard that if you don’t have much/any need then Regents is only $1k at the top UCs. But, maybe I’m wrong.</p>
<p>If this student doesn’t want to do the TAG CC to UC route, then he should do a gap year. Otherwise he may not end up with any affordable options.</p>
