Student Retention and Success is home to two TRiO programs in which at least 1/3 – 2/3 of students must be low-income and/or first-generation.
TRIO SSSP is for students who are low-income, first-generation college students and/or students with disabilities. Through mentorship, academic programs, one-to-one counseling/ advising, referrals to campus resources and social/ cultural programming, we strive to maximize involvement and success in the campus academic community. In addition to assisting students through to graduation, TRIO SSSP helps motivate and inform students to utilize services to enhance their preparation for the job market and/or graduate and professional school admission.

UC's Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan
Students will not have to pay UC’s system-wide tuition and fees out of their own pocket if they are a California resident whose total family income is less than $80,000 a year and they qualify for financial aid. Students with greater financial need can qualify for even more grant support to help defray other educational expenses (like books, housing, transportation, etc.). Applicants don't need to fill out a separate application to qualify for the Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan. They will receive the benefits of the Blue and Gold plan automatically if they qualify.

The Hope Scholars Program
Ensures academic and financial support for former foster youth, homeless youth, formerly incarcerated and other disconnected students.

Undocumented Student Services does not have income criteria, but I would suggest that undocumented students are traditionally underrepresented and would be considered non-traditional students
