UC v. CSU? & SCHOLARSHIPS?!

1. Which is better? UCs or Cal States?
    The difference between the two (academic wise) is that UCs are research institutions and the curriculum tends to be more theoretical, with more research opportunities. Also, they're preferably better for graduate school. While, CSU are more towards practical skills and hands-on experience. BUT keep in mind neither is better than the other, they are both great. It can all depend on your major, career goals, and preference.

2. SCHOLARSHIPS!!
    College can be expensive, but there are so many opportunities to help with the cost, for example scholarships. Apply! Apply! Apply! It is never to late to apply for scholarships. Any amount of money little or big, can help.  All you have to do is take the time to research scholarships.
