<p>Hello, fellow CC'ers. As a Junior on the college search, I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I'm OOS for UC's. Thus, they are all around 50-55k for OOS. My parents are willing to pay 20-25k for my education. What are the chances that I get atleast a 25k scholarship at UCSD, UCI, UCD, and UCSB. Thanks a ton in advance!</p>

<p>There will be approximately 50,000 applicants to each of the campuses you list, and many of them will be as qualified as you or more. The most prestigious scholarship at a UC is the Regents scholarship. Sample amounts for the Regents are below.</p>

<p>The UCD Regents scholarship is $7,500/year.
UCSB’s Regents is $6,000/year.
UCSD Regents is $8,000/year.</p>

<p>So there is an approximate 0% percent chance that you will be awarded a $25,000/year scholarship by a UC. If you were a nationally-ranked or Olympic-caliber athlete there might be a higher chance, but you do not mention that in your resume.</p>

<p>Out of state applicants to the UC system need to remember WHY the UC is turning to out of state students: You are a source of FUNDING. The UCs want out of state students for the $$$ they will have to pay as out of state students.</p>
