What if I can't work while I go to school?

If you are unable to work, scholarships may help. Unlike loans, scholarships do not have to be paid back. Students are also advised to work (if possible) during summer and winter breaks.

Check out the following resources to search for scholarships:

• University of California (UC) Undocumented Student Resources: Private Scholarships
