<p>I really think you should take the time to look up how financial aid works. You can start with the CSU Bakersfield pages on the subject. You are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, right? What was your gpa? What was your family income for 2013?</p>
<p>A likely estimate from the CSUB website for your situation of 0 EFC per school year is:</p>
<p>Federal Pell Grant 5,645
Cal Grant 1,473 - if you applied and have a gpa of 3.0
State U Grant 5,472</p>
<p>Total 12,590</p>
<p>So Bakersfield tuition/fee price was 6,775 last year. </p>
<p>In addition, you will need to buy books and they estimate it costs 1,789 - if your classes don’t require this much or you can buy used or rent them, then you can spend a lot less.</p>
<p>In addition, you will need transportation, food,and housing and personal expenses, so you can use all the extra money for that, they will give it to you each semester. </p>
<p>Now if you need more, you can get about 3,000 in loans the first year. </p>
<p>PLEASE NOTE: I am guessing your income and gpa, if it is different, then amount will be changed.</p>
