an official need analysis has been performed. Utilizing both need-based and non-need based funding sources, financial aid packages are provided to assist students in meeting the costs associated with attending UCLA. Financial aid packages consist of one or more of the following types of aid:</p> <h2>Aid</h2> <h3>Teaching &amp; Research Assistantships/Fellowships &amp; Grants</h3> <p>The UCLA Graduate Division provides students with support funds in the forms of grants, fellowships, traineeships, teaching assistantships and graduate student researcher appointments.</p> <p>Please refer to the <a href="https://grad.ucla.edu/asis/entsup/finsup.htm">UCLA Graduate Division Financial Support</a> for additional information regarding these awards.</p> <h3>Teach Grant</h3> <p>The TEACH Grant program is a non-need based grant program that gives up to <strong>$4,000/year</strong> to FULLTIME STUDENTS. TEACH Grants are ONLY available to citizens and permanent residents. Reduced eligibility is calculated for less than full time enrollment in an eligible program (see ‘Eligibility Criteria’ below).</p> <p>**STUDENTS MUST AGREE TO TEACH low-income elementary or secondary school for 4 YEARS. You must complete this within 8 years of finishing the program paid by the TEACH Grant. Students must teach in a high-need field as a highly qualified teacher. You must sign a service agreement to this effect every year. You must complete all required counseling prior to receiving TEACH Grant. You must have a 3.25 GPA for each quarter to maintain eligibility.</p> <p>**If you do NOT meet the requirements of the service agreement, TEACH Grant will be treated as a Direct Unsubsidized Loan. Then you must repay the TEACH funds, with interest accrued from the date of disbursement.</p> <p>Eligibility Criteria:<br> Graduate students enrolled in UCLA’s Teacher Education Program who are working toward a credential in Science, Math or Special Education.</p> <p>Cal Grant Eligibility:<br> If you have Cal Grant A or B and plan to enroll in a teacher credential program, you may be eligible to renew your Cal Grant award for an additional year. The additional year of payment is provided to students who are seeking an initial teacher credential and cannot be used for other graduate level courses of study. To qualify, you must be enrolled in a professional teaching preparation program at a school approved by California Commission on Teacher Credentialing within 15 months of the end of the term for which you last received a Cal Grant payment. Renewal recipients who have received a bachelor’s degree should:</p> <ul> <li>Enroll in a teacher preparation program at an institution approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing within 15 months of last receiving Cal Grant payments.</li> <li>Submit a Request for Cal Grant Teaching Credential Program (TCP) Benefits Form (G-44) <a href="http://www.csac.ca.gov/pubs/forms/grnt_frm/G-44.pdf">www.csac.ca.gov/pubs/forms/grnt_frm/G-44.pdf</a></li> <li>File a FAFSA so your school will be able to determine your grant renewal eligibility.</li> <li>The school verifies you are enrolled at least half-time in an approved teaching credential program.</li></ul> <h3>Golden State Teacher Grant (GSTG)</h3> <p>The Golden State Teacher Grant Program (GSTG) encourages students to consider earning a preliminary teaching or pupil personnel service credential and commit to work at either a priority school or a California preschool program for four years. You must complete the Service Agreement requirements within eight years of graduating from your UCLA program.</p> <p>GSTG awards of up to <strong>$20,000</strong> are available to students in a professional preparation program approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).</p> <section class="callout"> <p><em><strong>The 2024-25 GSTG Application will close on November 15, 2024.</strong></em></p></section> <p><em><strong>What are the grant requirements?</strong></em></p> <p>Before accepting the Golden State Teacher Grant, all applicants must agree to the terms and conditions of a Service Agreement. In addition to completing the program<br> requirements and passing state credentialing exams, the Service Agreement requires<br> recipients to fulfill several conditions:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Complete the Service Agreement.</strong> The Service Agreement explains the student’s obligations under the provisions of the grant. Non-compliance with the Service Agreement will result in partial or full grant repayment.</li> <li>Complete their program and obtain their credential within 6 years from the first disbursement of GSTG funds.</li> <li>Maintain good academic standing while enrolled in the CTC-approved teacher professional preparation program.</li> <li>Commit to work at either a priority school or a California State Preschool Program (CSPP) for either 2 or 4 years under the terms of the student's Cohort number and specific Service Agreement.</li> <li><strong>Work at a priority school.</strong> Priority schools are CA public schools that provide instruction in any grade K-12 with more than 55% of pupils classified as English Learners, eligible for free or reduced-price meals, or current foster youth, as determined by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) in consultation with the California Department of Education (CDE). The priority school list is compiled every year by April 15th using data submitted via CALPADS to the California Department of Education (CDE) by each public California school. GSTG recipients should refer to the GSTG CSAC website to ensure they find employment with an eligible priority school.</li></ul> <p><em><strong>What are the steps to apply?</strong></em></p> <ol> <li>Submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (<a href="https://studentaid.gov">FAFSA</a>) or CA Dream Act Application (<a href="https://dream.csac.ca.gov">CADAA</a>).</li> <li><a href="https://gstg.csac.ca.gov/">Apply for a Golden State Teacher Grant</a>. All applicants who meet the program eligibility criteria requirements will be sent a Letter of Acceptance and a Service Agreement.</li></ol> <p>A Service Agreement must be electronically signed before funds are disbursed to the student.</p> <p><em><strong>For More Information, contact the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) Golden State Teacher Grant Program At:</strong></em></p> <ul> <li>Email: <a href="mailto:goldenstateteachers@csac.ca.gov">goldenstateteachers@csac.ca.gov</a></li> <li><a href="https://gstg.csac.ca.gov/">Golden Teachers Grant Website</a></li> <li>Phone 1-888-224-7268</li></ul> <h3>Work-Study</h3> <p><strong>Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a federally funded program for students who demonstrate financial need. Work-Study funds are limited and offered to eligible students based on financial need and on-time application status.</strong><br> Additional information about Work-Study can be located under <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="4c645184-d93b-460a-b87f-e4761d8ed934" href="/graduate-aid/work-study-and-jobs">Work-Study and Jobs</a>.</p> <h3>Native American Opportunity Plan (NAOP)</h3> <p>UC’s Native American Opportunity Plan (NAOP) ensures that in-state system-wide Tuition and Student Services Fees are fully covered for California students who are also enrolled in federally recognized Native American, American Indian, and Alaska Native tribes.</p> <p>For additional information please visit the <a href="https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/tuition-financial-aid/types-of-aid/native-american-opportunity-plan.html">UC Admissions website here</a>.</p> <h2>Loans</h2> <h3>Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans</h3> <p>Direct Unsubsidized Loans are federally guaranteed loans that all students, regardless or need, are eligible to receive. Interest begins accruing after the first initial disbursement. Students are not required to start making payments on this loan until six (6) months after they graduate or drop below half time.</p> <p>For more information please see our <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="953fc00e-c151-44c1-84a7-6f4133f1f225" href="/file/953fc00e-c151-44c1-84a7-6f4133f1f225">Graduate Student Loan Guide</a>.</p> <h3>Federal Direct PLUS Loans</h3> <p>The Direct PLUS Loan is a loan option for Graduate/Professional students to help pay for their educational costs. Students can borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any other financial aid that the student is receiving. Interest begins accruing upon first disbursements. Students are not required to start making payments on this loan until sixty (60) days after the loan is fully disbursed. Students may also defer payment if the student is enrolled at least half-time, or during the six (6) month period after graduation, or after the student drops below half-time enrollment.</p> <p>For more information please see our <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="953fc00e-c151-44c1-84a7-6f4133f1f225" href="/file/953fc00e-c151-44c1-84a7-6f4133f1f225">Graduate Student Loan Guide</a>.</p> <h3>Private Loans</h3> <p>Choosing how to finance your education is one of the most important decisions you will make - and the impact of that decision will follow you well beyond graduation. Once you have exhausted your eligibility for Federal and University financial aid and loans, you may need to consider applying for a private educational loan (also called an alternative loan). These loans are not federal student loans. They are offered by private lenders and are used to supplement your financial aid. The interest rates and repayment terms on these loans may vary.<br> Refer to the <a href="https://www.elmselect.com/link/query?schoolId=162">UC Preferred Lender List</a> for lenders that have been extensively evaluated by the University of California Office of the President and found to provide competitive rates and loan terms to students.<br> To find out more information regarding the terms and the application process for private loans please see the <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="953fc00e-c151-44c1-84a7-6f4133f1f225" href="/file/953fc00e-c151-44c1-84a7-6f4133f1f225">Graduate Student Loan Guide</a>.</p> <p><br> <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="87213363-9b53-49b0-8e5b-c9078ae8e981" href="/portals/84/publications/2015-2016/uc_preferredlender_code.pdf">UC Code of Conduct for Preferred Lender Arrangements</a></p> <h3>California DREAM Act Loan Program</h3> <p>California DREAM Loan</p> <p>The California DREAM Loan Program allows for UC and CSU campuses to administer non-federal loans to undocumented graduate students who meet the DREAM Act Application requirements.</p> <p>Students who demonstrate financial need can borrow <strong>up to $4,000</strong> through the Dream Loan Program (up to $20,000 aggregate).</p> <p>Interest rates are fixed at the same rates as Federal Subsidized Direct Loans and there are no loan fees. Please complete a DREAM Act application. Once it is received by UCLA, please contact Financial Aid and Scholarships office to determine your eligibility. If you are a professional student, please reach out to the financial aid office at your school.</p> <h3>Corbett Disclosure Statement</h3> <p><strong>Students considering student loans need to be aware of the differences between federal student loans and private student loans:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Federal student loans are required by law to provide a range of flexible repayment options including, but not limited to, income-based and income-contingent repayment plans, as well as loan forgiveness benefits that private lenders are not required to provide.</li> <li>Federal direct loans are available to most students regardless of income. Other qualification criteria do apply. For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.studentaid.ed.gov/eligibility">www.studentaid.ed.gov/eligibility</a></li> <li>Private student loan lenders can offer variable interest rates that can increase or decrease over time, depending on market conditions.</li> <li>The interest rate on a private loan may depend on the borrower's and/or co-signer's credit rating.</li> <li>Private student loans have a range of interest rates and fees and students should determine the interest rate of, and any fees associated with, the private student loan included in their financial aid award package before accepting the loan. Students should contact the lender of the private student loan or their UC campus' financial aid office if they have any questions about a private student loan.</li></ul> <p><strong>Some UC campuses offer students their own private (institutional) student loans.
