Can I qualify for financial aid if my parents make a lot of money?

A number of factors in addition to family income are considered in determining your financial eligibility, including the size of your family and number in college. A UCR Financial Aid Counselor can discuss the federal formula for determining financial need with you if you have questions about qualifying. Although most grant awards are based on financial need, financial aid in the form of loans is available to students from all financial backgrounds. Students may borrow loans directly in their own name or parents of dependent students may borrow on behalf of their dependent children.
