<p>UC</a> needs to keep</p>
<p>University</a> of California intends to increase financial aid -- latimes.com</p>
<p>The 10 UC campuses have committed to raising the $1 billion in private funds for student aid over the next four years, Yudof said. That would be double the amount the system garnered for that purpose over the last five years.</p>
<p>The university also wants to expand an existing financial aid program that uses UC, federal and state grants to cover all basic education fees, but not room and board, for most students whose family incomes are $60,000 or below. Yudof announced that he will ask the Board of Regents to broaden the "Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan" to cover household incomes up to $70,000 to ensure that no academically qualified student is shut out of UC.</p>
