UCLA Tuition

Hey guys! I’ve been really thinking about applying to UCLA, but I’m kind of concerned about the cost. Does anybody know the total cost of tuition there for in-state students? Any scholarships to look into?

Hi there! For the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition fees for in-state students at UCLA stand at around $15,154. However, when you add in factors such as room and board, books and supplies, and personal expenses, the total cost of attendance rises to about $42,059 for in-state students living on campus.

That being said, UCLA does offer a variety of scholarships you could look into. The UCLA Regents Scholarship, for example, is the most prestigious scholarship awarded to entering freshmen. If you manage to snag this, the benefits include a $2,000 honorarium and guaranteed on-campus housing.

Another scholarship to consider is the UCLA Alumni Scholarships Program, which offers scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $10,000. There's also the UCLA Scholarship Recognition Fund, which provides scholarships that range from $1,000 to $5,000 per academic year.

Researching and applying for scholarships can significantly reduce the financial burden of attending university. You should also check out UCLA's Financial Aid and Scholarships office, which can provide advice on scholarships, grants, work-study opportunities, and loans. Keep in mind that they also offer financial aid, so be sure to submit your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as soon as the application opens to maximize your eligibility for aid.

Lastly, some departments at UCLA offer scholarships specific to their students, so once you have a major in mind, make sure to check if there are any departmental scholarships you could apply for. Best of luck!
