A financial aid award generally consists of a combination of scholarships and grant money, low-interest loans, and a work-study job offer during the academic year. </p><p>Here are a few resources to help you understand the process:</p><ul><li><a href="https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/tuition-financial-aid/">Paying for UC</a></li><li><a href="https://financialaid.ucla.edu/file/d7190e7d-9645-41f8-9028-7a20f21e9006">Financial Aid Handbook (PDF)</a></li></ul> </div> <div class="border-bottom custom-field custom-field--center-aligned section__text-background__white align_link_with_content"> </div> </section> <section class="border-bottom custom-field custom-field--center-aligned section__text-background__white" id="block-264"> <div> <h2 class="custom-field__header" id="Four_Types_of_Financial_Aid">Four Types of Financial Aid</h2> </div> <div class="custom-field"> <p>Paying for your education should be a partnership between the student, your family, the government, and UCLA. Here are the various ways you can cover your UCLA education.</p><h3>1. Scholarships</h3><p>UCLA offers financial support that may be awarded based on need, academic merit, your background, specific talents or professional interests.</p><p><a class="custom-field__button--secondary" href="https://financialaid.ucla.edu/types-of-aid/scholarships">Scholarship search and application guidance</a></p><h3>2. Grants</h3><p>Grants are a type of financial aid that recipients do have to repay. Sources include funding from the federal and state governments, as well as UCLA. Most are awarded based on need and require submission of the FAFSA or CA Dream Act by the priority deadline. </p><p><a class="custom-field__button--secondary" href="https://financialaid.ucla.edu/types-of-aid/grants">Explore grant programs available at UCLA</a>.</p><h3>3. Loans</h3><p>In 2023, graduating seniors in the U.S. had an average student loan debt of over $37,000. But for UCLA seniors, the average was much lower — just over $17,500. And nearly all UCLA graduates — 98% of them — successfully manage loan repayment. Students have a variety of borrowing options available so you are encouraged to research your options carefully.</p><p>Federal student loans are not credit-based and have terms set by the Department of Education. Interest paid on student loans is tax-deductible. There are flexible payment options, and repayment can be delayed until after the student’s graduation on federal and private loans.</p><p>Parents have the option to take out a low-interest educational loan from the government and a private loan from a bank or other private lenders. The terms for federal parent loans are determined by the Department of Education. Federal parent loans are not based on credit scores but adverse credit can impact eligibility. Loan payments can be postponed until after the student graduates. Interest paid on parent loans is tax-deductible.</p><p><a class="custom-field__button--secondary" href="https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/loans">Learn about student and parent loan options</a></p><h3>4. Part-Time Student Jobs</h3><p>A part-time job can help pay for textbooks and day-to-day living expenses. Last year, over 9,500 UCLA undergraduates worked on campus part-time. Some students have the designation of being eligible for work-study awards, which can make it easier to find a position, on campus or off.</p><p><a class="custom-field__button--secondary" href="https://financialaid.ucla.edu/Undergraduate/Work-Study-and-Jobs">Learn about part-time student jobs</a></p> </div> <div class="border-bottom custom-field custom-field--center-aligned section__text-background__white align_link_with_content"> </div> </section> <section class="border-bottom custom-field custom-field--center-aligned section__text-background__white" id="block-268"> <div> <h2 class="custom-field__header" id="What_Parents_Can_Do_to_Help_Financially">What Parents Can Do to Help Financially</h2> </div> <div class="custom-field"> <p>Parents have access to a number of resources, including some that offer tax benefits.</p> <h3>Savings Accounts and Tax Benefits</h3> <p>Some families set up special college savings accounts, such as <a href="https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc310">Coverdell Education Savings Accounts</a> and <a href="https://www.irs.gov/publications/p970">529 plans</a>, which enable them to put away money for college tuition and related expenses.</p> <p>Families can also withdraw money from their 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings accounts. Withdrawals are penalty-free when the money is used to pay for education. </p> <p>The government offers tax benefits and credits for higher education.

They have new books, used, digital, rentals and price matching. And at the end of each quarter, the UCLA Store buys books back for cash.</p> <p>When it comes to transportation, many students ask if they need to have a car on campus. Most first-year students do not need a car, especially given parking limitations on campus. Many students utilize public transportation and ridesharing, which helps save money and the environment.</p> </div> <div class="border-bottom custom-field custom-field--center-aligned section__text-background__white align_link_with_content"> </div> </section> <section class="border-bottom custom-field custom-field--center-aligned section__text-background__white" id="block-265"> <div> <h2 class="custom-field__header" id="BruinPay_Plan">BruinPay Plan</h2> </div> <div class="custom-field"> <p>When you enroll at UCLA, you’re eligible to apply for the <a href="https://www.finance.ucla.edu/business-finance-services/student-accounts/student-billing-collections">BruinPay Plan</a>.
