UC Student Association passes resolution demanding tuition be lowered to 2008 levels

They were disgusted that not one deserving candidate was brought forth who just had strong leadership and academic achievement in four years. No, the system is set up to reward one group, and the ultra-high group can get by easily. The middle group has no options.

I can say that virtually every single UC scholarship eliminates students who are not in dire need, even though for some (such as Regents), it is often noted as just one consideration of many. In reality, it’s the one required consideration.

I’m a little confused by these statements - my child (0 diversity, 0 hardship, absolutely no need-based aid) received Regents offers from 4 UC’s and also one of Berkeley’s alumni merit scholarships.
