Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan

This program is designed to help California residents and eligible AB 540 students cover their systemwide tuition and fees when attending a University of California campus. It is intended for undergraduate students, including incoming transfer students, who come from families with incomes below a specified threshold and who demonstrate financial need. Eligible recipients are automatically considered for these funds to help offset the cost of their education, and those with even greater financial need may qualify for additional grant assistance to help cover other educational expenses such as books, housing, and transportation.

The award is renewable. Eligibility on record: open to undergraduates; for residents of California; financial need is considered; citizenship: U.S. citizen, Eligible noncitizen, and DACA or state Dream Act student; usable at a 4-year college or public college. The next deadline on record is March 2, 2027, and the deadline recurs each year. No essay is required.
