<p>Our data point from last year:<br>
UC offered: $1000 grant + federal loans + PLUS loan + suggestion that we take private loans + workstudy of 20 hrs/wk. It was insulting.
LAC offered: large scholarship + larger grant + federal loans + workstudy of 8 hrs/week. Our out-of-pocket is actually smaller than our FAFSA EFC.</p>
<p>I would anticipate that with the problems out here in Calif, the UCs will be even less generous next year and for the foreseeable future. Remember that LACs aren’t dependent on state funding; in this environment, that’s a good thing.</p>
