Pomona College’s commitment to meeting the demonstrated need
of every admitted, enrolled student means that no student
should hesitate to apply to Pomona because of cost. We
encourage every student who needs financial assistance to
attend Pomona College to complete an application for
financial aid. More than 50 percent of Pomona students
receive some form of financial aid.
While some families may wonder if there is a cutoff for
financial aid eligibility based on income or asset levels,
eligibility is not limited by a simple income ceiling. The factors that determine the parent’s
ability to pay for college costs include family income,
assets, total number of family members, and the number of
family members enrolled in college. Necessary family
expenses such as taxes, reasonable living cost, and medical
expenses also affect aid eligibility.
We encourage students and parents to familiarize themselves
with the aid process through the information on our website
and in our publications. Families may wish to use the
College Board’s financial aid calculator
( please see the note below about using the College Board's
financial aid calculator ) to get an
approximation of their calculated family contribution. Students and parents may also wish to contact the Office of
Financial Aid directly with specific questions about the aid
process or questions about the specifics of their situation.
A note about the College Board's financial aid calculator:
When assessing the financial strength of families applying
for aid, Pomona College modifies the standard Institutional
Methodology as reflected in the College Board's financial
aid calculator. Typically these modifications result in a
more favorable outcome for the family. If you have
additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact our
office. |
