Dependence of University of California Grants and Student Aid on Federal Grants

This is the data from the UC website on funding from all sources and from Federal Sources.  There also is a news report and assurance at the end from UC President Michael V. Drake that the University will maintain Diversity and Inclusion.  This was also from the Chancellors of the California State Universities and the California Community Colleges.  This is followed by the yearly effect of UCs on the economy of $82 billion a year, although that is even a four year old number.

This shows that of $9.205 billion in total awards in 2024 to all campuses, $4.286 billion, or 46.6% comes from Federal Sources.  We stress that Federal research awards are highly competitive and are allocated by national expert review committees in their fields.  All have to be in the national interest.

Below is a decades history of awards to the campuses, the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), the Office of the President (OP), and the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR), mainly at Berkeley, Davis, and Riverside.

Below are the rewards over the last five years by the vast number of Federal Agencies, led by the Department of Health and Human Services.  That is $2.84 billion out of a total of $4.28 billion, or 66.4%, or two-thirds of the total.

Financial gift support for California resident undergraduates totaled $2.93 billion for the 2023-4 year.  Out of this, $0.444 billion were Federal Pell Grants, or 15.2%.

Including the exceptional need FSEOG grants, the Federal total is $0.473 billion out of $2.534 billion or 18.7%.
