    About this scholarship

    This state-funded program offers tuition assistance for California residents pursuing an undergraduate degree at a four-year university. It covers full enrollment fees at University of California or California State University campuses.

Selection is based on financial need and academic performance.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
