UC Berkeley Financial Aid and Scholarships Office
Contact Information
Please contact us just once (by phone, email, or in person) with your questions. Duplicate inquiries by the same student—for example, the same questions asked via email, phone, AND in person—slow down our response time. Thanks for your cooperation.
