Transfer Slugs Apply for Aid

UCSC is here to make sure your financial aid moves with you during your transfer process. Whether you are applying for FAFSA or the DREAM ACT, scholarships, or maximizing your aid, we’ve got the resources to help.

• If you are a student who is a US citizen, permanent resident ("Green Card" holder), have a T-Visa, or are an eligible non-citizen. Please be sure to complete a FAFSA form or simply log in at FAFSA.gov and update your application.
• If you are an undocumented student, including being a DACA recipient, who meets certain residency and educational requirements (like AB 540 eligibility), you are eligible to apply for state financial aid in California through the DREAM ACT
• Scholarships for transfer students offer more than just financial support—they can be a game changer in your college journey. It can help cover tuition, books, housing, and other expenses, reducing the need for loans or multiple jobs so you can focus more on your academics.
