Tuition, Fees and Financial Aid
About three-quarters of Berkeley undergraduates receive financial aid, which is primarily need-based. Applicants apply for university-sponsored scholarships automatically when they apply for admission; a separate form, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required for grants, loans and work study.
Students and parents may apply for and receive a "real-time" PIN when completing a FAFSA on the Web or when applying for a PIN on the Department’s PIN Web site (www.pin.ed.gov). Full details can be found here.
