Financial Aid

I know that financial aid packages are available to view in the financial aid portal. It says that I may be eligible for the Blue & Gold Scholarship from the UC system. When do I know if I’m receiving that actual scholarship?

Did you already receive a financial package from UCI?

Yes. My package is viewable online. Above my grants and scholarships, it says that I may be eligible for the Blue & Gold Opportunity Plan. However, that plan isn’t included in my grants & scholarship portion. Is the UC system still processing that?

The Blue and Gold Scholarship will cover your systemwide tuition and fees by scholarship or grant money. The plan combines all sources of scholarship and grant awards you receive (federal, state, UC and private) to go toward covering your tuition and fees. So if you are eligible for a Cal grant, Pell grant etc… then this is already part of the package.
