* I know Ill get the $12192(assuming tuition doesn’t increase) and $1551 for Cal grant B and a $5550 in Pell grant money. The total comes out to be $19,293.*

I think you’ve made a mistake. The Blue and Gold promise INCLUDES Pell and Cal Grant. You don’t get those in addition to the cost of tuition. B&G is not a grant…it’s promise. The promise is that the combo of your grants…Pell, Cal Grants, and UC Grants will add up to UC tuition.

Several 0 EFC UC kids have posted their packages on CC and their packages are very similar…about $12-14k in grants (mix of Pell, CG, and UC), about $6-8K in loans (often with Perkins), about 2500 in work study.

So, if your COA is about $24k, then your pkg would be similar to above…
