UC Blue and Gold

Blue and Gold is the University of California's commitment to offering financial aid that greatly benefits all California students and provides cost predictability to all students.

Tuition Coverage: Most undergraduate students from California families that earn up to $100,000 and have total assets/investments of less than $500,000 receive enough grant and scholarship funds to cover their UC tuition. 

Minimized Student Debt: With an average aid package including up to $22,000 in grants and scholarships, many California students are able to work part-time to cover their remaining costs, allowing them to graduate with minimal debt and often debt-free.

Tuition Predictability: As a UC student, your tuition amount will be set when you first enroll and will remain the same for up to six years.

How to apply: You will be automatically considered when you submit these forms by the priority deadline: 

• Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, or the California Dream Act Application, the CADAA
• Cal Grant GPA Verification Form
