The Financial Aid Office works with students and their families to help make college affordable, giving over $68 million in aid to students each year. A variety of aid is available, including university, state, and federal grants; scholarships; federal educational loan programs; subsidized and unsubsidized loans; Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS); and work-study programs.

To be considered for financial aid, UC Santa Cruz applicants must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Please note that the deadline for submitting the FAFSA was March 2. The Financial Aid Office uses information on students' admission application to determine university scholarship eligibility.

Notes:
Undergraduate fees include $6,141 for education and registration fees, $808 for campus fees, and $654 for health insurance. 

Other figures are based on budgets developed by the University of California Office of the President using survey results and a standardized methodology for all UC campuses.

For a quarterly breakdown of all undergraduate fees for residents and nonresidents, please go to the Registrar’s Office site.
