Does UCI give out merit scholarships? if so how much money does it take off?
The UC’s offer merit scholarships however, most of the aid provided to students is need-based aid.
Here are 2 merit based scholarships offered by UCI.
UC Irvine merit-based scholarships are awarded to entering freshmen who demonstrate a high level of academic achievement as demonstrated by their high school GPA as reported on the admissions application, SAT (or ACT) scores, personal statements, and depth and breadth of the admissions application.
The Regents’ Scholarships
UCI Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship
You can check their website if there are any department based scholarships also available.
Ok thanks!
