<p>with the cali financial crisis. no!
UCLA is giving out like no money at all (i heard)
i got a full ride for 4 years, but thats all my regents scholarship.</p>
<p>UW doesn’t give money to OOS’ers either. Washington state actually subsidizes in-state student for about $2500/person for tuition so it keep the tuition down around $6800. Great for in-state, bad for OOS. California barely has the money to give to it’s own in-state people unless you are low income. UCLA estimated costs have gone from $19000 in 2004 when my son started there to approx. $26400 in state this year with my third child being accepted. That is almost a estimated $7000 a year increase which to me is huge! I have found over the years that actual costs actually come out to be a little higher than the schools estimates.</p>
<p>$16k i grants is the max that they will give to instate students (with a zero efc), so that’s the max they offer to OOS students. But, then few publics offer a lot of need-based aid to OOS’ers.</p>
<p>People. people, people…if you are going to apply to a OOS public school it would behoove you to do a little research on how your state of choice is doing financially before you get your hopes dashed.</p>
<p>The public universities in CA are increasing their OOS admittees in the hopes that some of those are willing to pay the big $$ and help off set the dwindling public finds available to in-state students. Hmmm, go figure.</p>
<p>Yeah, unfortunately, California’s kind of in a bankruptcy fiasco. So, generally that means no money for out-of-staters, and probably less money for in-staters. :-(</p>
<p>one reason you probably got in is because UCs need money from out of staters. Also Californians have to pay the taxes for the UCs so why should we subsidize a great amount for out of staters?</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m OOS, and UCLA covered all my need… in loans. which are the last resort in paying for college for me. and i really have to want to go there.</p>
<p>I dunno why I didn’t expect it, given Cali’s financial crisis as you guys have pointed out. I guess I was just used to the generous awards offered by private universities in Cali (stanford, usc).</p>
