EAP Scholarships & Financial AidThe cost of many EAP programs is comparable to the cost of a term at UC. Some cost more, some less, based largely on local living costs. Programs are often made more affordable through financial aid and scholarships. The following are a few forms of financial aid (which include scholarships, grants, and loans) available to EAP students. Check with your Campus EAP Office for details.

Even if you have not been eligible for financial aid in the past, consult with your campus advisers—you might be eligible for financial aid while on EAP.
