IMPORTANT FAFSA UPDATES:

Summer 2025 Financial Aid Guidance

• Considering attending Summer 2025 classes? Estimate your costs and financial aid eligibility using the 2025 UCLA Summer Financial Aid Calculator.
• This calculator is intended to provide an ESTIMATE of aid eligibility if you enroll in 2025 UCLA Summer Sessions. Your actual aid eligibility may differ based on a variety of factors. Summer 2025 Bruin Financial Aid Letters are expected to be sent beginning in early May to students registered for 2025 Summer Sessions.

Aid Support for Students Impacted by the SoCal Fires

• UCLA Financial Aid and Scholarships understands the challenges that students and families are facing due to the recent Southern California fires. We are here to assist you during this difficult time. If you are a current student who has incurred expenses as a result of the SoCal Fires, you may submit them for aid consideration. To do so, please provide a written statement listing your expenses, along with any supporting documentation via Message Center with the subject line reading “SoCal Fires Aid Support Appeal.”
• Please be aware that additional aid provided may be offered in the form of grants, loans or a combination of both depending on the availability of funding and the circumstances. We are committed to supporting you through this process and hope you and your families continue to stay safe.
• 2025 Prospective Bruins impacted by the SoCal Fires who would like to be considered for need-based scholarships, grants, and loan aid should apply for financial aid and can review appeal options by contacting UCLA Financial Aid & Scholarships after being admitted.

Financial Aid Application Guidance

• Your future is worth it: It’s time to apply for financial aid! The state priority deadline in California was just extended to April 2, 2025, so you have plenty of time to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application (CADAA).

• We understand that Undocumented Students and Parents may have concerns about privacy when completing financial aid applications. For those with questions, please see the latest guidance issued by the University of California (UC) that was reviewed by UC Legal – Office of the General Counsel and UC Immigrant Legal Services.
• Any student who has attempted, but not been able to file a FAFSA or CADAA is urged to contact our office.
