<p>Awh, that sucks. I got $10,320 from Cal Grants. Oh well I hope I get a little more for living expenses…</p>
<p>But hey for those of you who know anything about the UC financial aid, how much will an EFC of around 2600-2700 get you?</p>
<p>[Financial</a> Aid Estimator for the University of California, Berkeley - Input](<a href=“Financial Aid Estimator - UC Berkeley Financial Aid and Scholarships Office”>Financial Aid Estimator - UC Berkeley Financial Aid and Scholarships Office)</p>
<p>i just put in 0 for everything so that would equal a efc of 0 with a efc of 2600 you would need to contribute 2600 more </p>
<p>How grants or scholarships can reduce your costs
Estimated grant and/or scholarship assistance: $19,312 - $19,812 / year
Estimated net cost (remaining cost after grants and scholarships): $8,500 - $9,000 / year
How you can finance the net cost earnings: student work and/or
Estimated student loans $8,000 - $8,500 / year
Estimated amount that the family may choose to borrow or contribute from savings and/or current earnings: $0 - $1,000 / year</p>
<p>basically 8000 in students loans a year</p>
<p>in order to apply for Blue and Gold you have to recieve your cal grant money first, then they pay the difference if there is any.</p>
