Confused about out-of-state tuition?

We get a number of students from OOS or international applying to the California publics (UC’s and California State schools) without really looking at the costs involved. Many assume the financial aid will just appear with the applications that they have filled out; most students don’t know that the colleges dispense the FA, and for California, that means California kids, whose parents have been supporting the UC/CSU’s through their taxes, get the scholarships, loans and work study.

FYI: Our state also has thousands of first generation and low-income students, so there is no shortage of disadvantaged students who want spaces at the UC’s

As above, try the privates, but these schools are being overwhelmed by OOS students who want a free ride.
