Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan

The Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan is a financial aid program intended to expand access to the University of California for lower-income students.

UC's Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan will ensure that you will not have to pay UC's system-wide tuition and fees out of your own pocket if you are a California resident whose total family income is less than $80,000 per year and you qualify for financial aid - and that's just for starters.

Blue and Gold students with sufficient financial need can qualify for even more grant aid to help reduce the cost of attending.

APIA Scholarship Program: Scholarship awards range from one-time $2,500 awards to multi-year $20,000 awards.  APIA Scholars provides scholarships to underserved APAI students with a special focus on those who:

• Live at or below the poverty level, or are otherwise of low socioeconomic status;
• Are the first in their families to attend college;
• Are representative of the APIA community’s diversity, (geographically and ethnically}, especially those ethnicities that have been underrepresented on college campuses due to limited access and opportunity; and
• Have placed a strong emphasis on community service and leadership as well as solid academic achievement.
