45 - STUDENT FINANCIAL AID

University of California students receive financial aid in a variety of forms from University resources, the federal government, the state, private donors, and outside agencies. University support, largely in the form of grants and scholarships, is derived primarily from the state General Fund and student tuition and fee income. The federal government provides loans, work-study, veterans' benefits, and grants. In addition, graduate students receive traineeships and fellowships through various federal programs. The California Student Aid Commission provides grants directly to students and private donors and outside agencies also provide scholarships, grants, and loans.
