Both the University of California and the California State
University applications have questions that ask students to enter
family income and family size. These questions are for
the sole purpose of determining if a student is
eligible for a fee waiver for the application; they
are not questions related to financial aid, nor are they an
application for financial aid. The income question is NOT
REQUIRED for the UC application, so
that question can be skipped if you are not hoping for an
application fee waiver.
