<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I was wondering what the UCSD Blue + Gold Opportunity Plan was?</p>

<p>I got this message:</p>

<p>"You appear to be UC Blue & Gold eligible based upon the income and residency information provided on your FAFSA. This Financial Aid Estimate indicates that your Blue & Gold eligibility is being met with the grant/scholarship awards on this estimate which will cover your UC Systemwide tuition/fees, currently estimated to be $XX,XXX."</p>

<p>Is it talking about Cal Grant? It is saying its estimated to be the exact amount as my Cal Grant.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what this is? Thanks.</p>

<p>Lots of info about this on the UC webpage.</p>

<p>Thanks! I just looked at it however I still have some questions. Is this saying that its going to cover ALL my costs? It sounds a little too good to be true…</p>

<p>Blue & Gold covers the difference between tuition and fees, and your other aid. So it guarantees that your tuition and & fees will be covered. If your other aid covers all tuition and fees, Blue & Gold won’t give you anything.</p>

<p>Awesome! Thanks for the info, man!</p>

<p>I have a question about this as well. It says it covers all “systemwide fees” but what does that mean exactly? I assume tuition but what about room and board? Books?</p>

<p>I am pretty sure it covers the “Tuition and fees” line here:</p>
