Funding Your Future
Education is life-changing. Our innovative financial aid programs make a world class education a reality for thousands of Berkeley students every year. This includes more than $750 million awarded in financial aid annually. We take pride in knowing that 38% of students pay nothing out of pocket for tuition due to grants and scholarships and that around two-thirds of students receive some form of financial aid. Funding your future is possible.
UC Berkeley calculates the estimated undergraduate costs using the student budget. This represents the average amounts paid by UC students, based on three types of housing situations: living in a residence hall, living off campus, and living with relatives.
