Programme Overview

The Middle-Class Scholarship program is available for new, transfer, and returning undergraduates, and students pursuing a teaching credential with family income and assets not exceeding certain amounts (subject to California State Budget Approval) for the 2025-26 academic year for those who attend a University of California campus.

Benefits

Scholarship award amounts will vary by student and by the school. Award amounts will be based on the cost of attendance for the school of the student’s choice and the following program requirements: other available gift aid that the student is eligible for (i.e. federal, state, institutional, or scholarship aid), a self-help student contribution of $8,154 (applied to all students), and a parent contribution for dependent students with a household income of over $100,000. These three factors collectively, are referred to as a student’s “available resources.” These amounts are deducted from the student’s total cost of attendance to determine the MCS award. Under this formula, award amounts will vary widely among students, with each student’s award reflecting their costs and available resources.

Requirements

Scholarship Candidates are:

  • Admitted first-year students who graduated from one of the partner high schools and who attended a partner high school for at least three years
  • U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens (California Dream Act Application or hold a permanent resident card)
  • California residents or eligible nonresidents (AB 540 nonresident tuition exemption)
  • Eligible for need-based financial aid

Application Deadline

April 2, 2025
