What financial aids or scholarships are available for UCLA?

I’m interested to know because UCLA is my dream school. I’ve wanted to go there since freshman year, haha.

If you are out of state, none.

Run the Net Price calculator to get an estimate: https://app.financialaid.ucla.edu/FASEstimator/

In-state CA residents if eligible, can get Cal Grants, the Middle Class Scholarship and the Blue and Gold Opportunity plan.

If you are OOS, as @TomSrOfBoston stated above, you should expect to pay full fees at around $65K/year to attend since UCLA gives little to no financial aid.

@TomSrOfBoston @Gumbymom Thank you.

First you have to get accepted to UCLA. This is not a slam dunk even for instate applicants in recent years.

As noted, there is some aid available for instate students. Your family income would need to be below $80,000 a year to be Calgrant eligible. Your stats would need to be tippy top for merit aid which is highly highly competitive.

And then…if you are OOS…plan to pay the full cost of attendance at the OOS rate.

What is your home state?

@mom2collegekids I’m in Virginia.

UCLA is a public university funded by state tax dollars, so, out of state students do not qualify for California tax-supported scholarships nor grants.

Out of state students, from Virginia, pay full fees of $65K per year.

@slippynauts

So…what is the matter with all of the terrific instate public universities in Virginia??

Calif residents cannot afford to provide OOS students aid to go to their UCs

@thumper1 Nothing is wrong with them. I’d prefer to get out of Virginia though. If I have to, I’ll stay here.
