There are financial aid options for parents. Parents should not feel discouraged from helping to pay for their child’s cost of attendance at UC Merced. It is understood that often parents do not have spare funds that they can use to pay for their student’s tuition or additional expenses. For this reason, the federal government has made the PLUS Loan (Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students) available to parents who qualify. This educational loan may be used by the parent to pay for all or a portion of their student’s cost of attendance.
