Think you can’t afford UC? Think again.
UC tuition is fully covered for more than half of California students. That’s no typo. For most in-state students, if your household income is $100K or less, your UC tuition payment is ZERO.
“On paper, UC seemed expensive. But they have a plan that helps a lot of us low-income families actually be able to attend. I’m going to graduate debt-free, which is something that I would have never imagined.”
