<p>I'm applying for the class of 2012. Just curous as to whether Berkeley has any merit scholarships....since for out of state, the tuition is over 30k.</p>
<p>I'm sure they do, you just have to look for them and use all you resources. Since you are from out of state, you're going to have to be a pretty exceptional student. Good Luck with your search, sorry I couldn't be more help.</p>
<p>According to the common data set, the average institutional non-need-based aid granted was $2,136. You can probably get some outside merit-based scholarships. But bear in mind that Berkeley doesn't give a lot of aid to OOSers (usually, publics don't).</p>
<p>Yes, but most public schools I know have a lot of merit based scholarships. I am disappointed that I have not found any on Berkeley yet (their website is pretty hard to navigate as well).</p>
<p>The Regents and Chancellor's Scholarship is merit based, but the amount of money you get is need based. If you qualify for financial aid it can be quite a bit; if you don't then you get a $1000 honorarium in addition to the normal benefits.
