Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out how much attending UCLA will cost. Is there an official online calculator or tool available that can give me an estimate of what my family would be expected to pay? Any help would be appreciated!
Hi! Yes, there is an official tool available to help you estimate the cost of attending UCLA. It's called the Net Price Calculator, and you can find it on the UCLA Financial Aid and Scholarships website. Here's the link for your convenience: https://admission.ucla.edu/tuition-aid/net-cost-calculator
This calculator will ask for information about your family's income, assets, and household size, as well as your academic profile. It will then provide an estimate of the financial aid package you might receive if you were to be admitted to UCLA.
Please note that this is just an estimate, and your actual financial aid package may vary. Remember to apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application if you're a California resident who doesn't qualify for federal aid.
In addition to the Net Price Calculator, it's also a good idea to review UCLA's published cost of attendance, which can be found here: https://www.financialaid.ucla.edu/Undergraduate/Cost-of-Attendance
This will give you a general idea of the tuition, fees, and living expenses associated with attending UCLA. Good luck as you navigate the college application and financial aid processes!
