<p>Hey guys, I was just admitted to UC Davis and was wondering if anyone could make sense of my unofficial financial aid package. It says I may be eligible for the Blue and Gold program. How do i know if I am or not and what would that change in my financial aid package? Thanks for any answers you might have! </p>

<p>Blue and Gold simply guarantees that the systemwide portion of your fees will be covered by grants and/or scholarships. It doesn’t cover campus-specific fees or any other expenses.</p>

<p>Since the systemwide fees for 2013-14 are $12,192, and you received grants totaling $12,235, I believe that you’ve received all you’d be eligible for under Blue & Gold.</p>

<p>But if you have any questions, contact the UC Davis FA office directly and ask them - that’s what they’re there for!</p>
