<p>Given the family situation the OP mentioned, are their financial resources to pay to attend ? UC schools do not give financial aid for the out-of-state part of the cost. See for example <a href=“http://financialaid.ucdavis.edu/undergraduate/students/NonResident.html”>http://financialaid.ucdavis.edu/undergraduate/students/NonResident.html</a></p>
<p>Or see page 4 of <a href=“http://www.fao.ucla.edu/publications/2012-2013/ePAL_Guide.pdf”>http://www.fao.ucla.edu/publications/2012-2013/ePAL_Guide.pdf</a> which specifically says that UCLA will just offer loans to cover the out-of-state cost.</p>
