@SouthFloridaMom9: UC’s cost this full pay parent around $30K/year which includes tuition/room/board/books etc…

California has Cal Grants and the Blue & Gold scholarship (need based) which helps reduce the costs for in-state applicants. UC’s do offer merit scholarships but very competitive and usually to the top 1% of applicants. Again the merit scholarships in them selves are not high amounts: up to $10K/year depending upon campus, but they also have a need based component which can increase these amounts to include full tuition and some housing expenses.
