The UC Regent's policy, on undergraduate financial aid calls for making the cost of attendance for California undergraduates, which includes tuition, fees, and expenses for housing, food, educational materials, and transportation, affordable.

The Working Group met six times over the course of seven months, invited outside speakers, reviewed data about UC and its competitors, and drew several conclusions outlined here.
