How are you paying for UC first-year?

<p>grants, merit-scholarships, work (how much and how long?), parent savings?</p>

<p>right now it looks like this for me</p>

<p>My Savings: $3000
Essay Scholarship: $1000
Work Over Summer: $3500
Parents: $11000</p>

<p>the rest i still have to figure out</p>

<p>A Staford loan for $5500 should be all you need and you would still graduate with average debt.</p>
