We understand that you and your family may have a lot of concerns about how you’ll cover your costs of tuition, housing and other necessities should you attend UCSB. Through a variety of programs available, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships can help you to cover your educational costs.
The University of California Systemwide Financial Aid Calculator provides a simple way for you to estimate the amount of gift aid (grants and scholarships) you could receive based on information you provide. It also shows your estimated net cost of attendance (estimated total cost of attendance minus estimated gift aid eligibility).
The calculator provides an estimate, and the values it produces are not the actual amounts that will be included in your final financial aid offer. All estimated values are subject to change. All students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be eligible for and receive Federal student aid funds. For more information about the Financial Aid application process, please visit How to Apply
This estimator only produces estimated values based on the information you provide. Data entry error could result in estimated values that may differ significantly from your financial aid offer. This tool is only intended for full time, undergraduate students, seeking a first-time bachelor's degree. Go here for more information about funding available to Graduate Students
