If you are eligible for Federal grants such as Pell grant, then yes you could use these to pay for the California schools but that is a drop in the bucket in comparison to costs: Cal States $36-40K/year and UC’s around $60K/year. The maximum Pell grant is $5920. You could also only borrow $5500 as a Freshman applicant. Where would the other $30-50K come from, definitely not from the these schools.

California residents pay lower tuition costs since they in-state along with being eligible for Cal Grants and Middle class scholarships, none of these are available for OOS students.

I suggest you run the Net Price calculators on any schools of interest and also check the common datasets to determine where stand based on your GPA and Test scores. You really need to bump up those test scores to have a chance and most of the schools on your list.
