Hi guys so i posting this to figure out how much money i will be paying out of pocket at UC davis i do qualify for blue and gold plan and my parents live near davis so if my tuition fees are covered are there any hidden fees that i do not know about and i do not get any sort of cal grant my UC grant shows 3k per quarter with 1300 pell grant so around 4500 i’ll have to cover tuition so basically if we take out housing fees how much would i need or do i not need to take out loans. thank you
Did you get your FA package from UCD? Does it break out your expected costs? Health insurance of around $2800 is usually not included along with books/personal expenses and travel costs. Have you checked housing costs?
Are you a transfer or Freshman?
UC Blue and Gold Scholarship: If you are eligible, your systemwide tuition and fees will be fully covered by scholarship or grant money. The plan combines all sources of scholarship and grant awards you receive (federal, state, UC and private) to go toward covering your tuition and fees.
Students with greater financial need can qualify for even more grant support to help defray other educational expenses (like books, housing, transportation, etc.).
Since you’re Pell eligible, why aren’t you getting a Cal Grant.
Can you copy/paste your award?
Seems like you should be getting a Cal Grant to cover Tuition/fees. And then you should get your Pell Grant. Is the Pell Grant 1300 annually or 1300 per quarter. If it’s 1300 per quarter, it would seem like that would cover books, transportation, etc.
Since you’ll be commuting, do you have reliable transportation?
