<p>Hmm not too sure, but I do know that some students at my brother’s school who got rejected at all the UCs they applied to(and didn’t apply to Merced) actually got into Merced. It was pretty funny, but yeah.
I believe if you’re very qualified, Merced should be glad to give out scholarships. You should research more and post it here :)</p>
<p>YES…UC Merced does give students a free ride. If you fill out your FAFSA, and qualify for financial aid you will like also qualify for the “golden bobcat scholarship” (yeah I know, funky name)…I got this, and it has paid all my fees, plus a little more!</p>
