UCLA is committed to helping students finance their educations; the Financial Aid Office works closely with all students who need financial assistance.* A financial aid award generally consists of a combination of scholarships and grant money from UCLA and other sources, low-interest loans, and a work-study job during the academic year.

We recommend that you take the initiative to research the wide range of scholarship opportunities sponsored by outside organizations. Every year thousands of dollars go unawarded because students are not aware of these resources.

For more detailed fee information see the Registrar's Office fee charts. For more information on financing a UC education, visit the University of California's financial aid information site.

Estimated Undergraduate Student Budget
Per Academic Year (9 months)

Special note (March 18, 2008):
The Registration Fees, Health Insurance, and Nonresident Tuition costs shown below are for the 2007-08 year because final 2008-09 figures have not yet been set by the UC Regents. There is a very high probability that final 2008-09 costs for each of these items will increase by 7-10%. When the final figures are determined, this page will be updated accordingly.

• UC President Dynes' April 11 letter on fees

Notes:

* International applicants please note: UCLA does not award scholarships or financial aid to undergraduate students who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
