At Pomona, It's a Tradition and a Commitment

Pomona College is one of a handful of institutions in the nation committed to both need-blind admissions and to awarding scholarships and financial aid that meet 100 percent of the demonstrated need of every admitted enrolling student. These policies enable Pomona to choose its students solely on the basis of educational considerations such as talent, promise and ability to contribute to the campus community while removing cost as a barrier to a first class educational opportunity.

For the 2011-2012 award year, Pomona College expects to distribute approximately $31.5 million in grant and scholarship assistance.  The College is committed to making sure family income does not distract students from their academic goals. Each financial aid package is individually designed to meet the needs of the particular student, with the College’s commitment to honor the equivalent award in future years as long as the family’s finances remain the same.

In order to be eligible for any financial aid awarded by the College and by most federal, state, and major private aid programs, students and parents are required to file a confidential financial statement on which a determination of financial aid eligibility can be based. All Pomona College aid candidates must also apply for any state or federal awards for which they may be eligible so that College funds can be made available to as many students as possible.

The College's generous financial aid awards bring a Pomona education within easy reach.

Prospective students applying for Fall 2012 may download a copy of our Financial Aid brochure, Affordable Excellence [pdf] , for detailed information of applying for aid.

All enrolled Pomona students, both new and returning, may download a copy of Understanding Your Financial Aid [pdf] to review Pomona's Financial Aid policies and procedures for the current year.
