Understanding The Process
This page will help you navigate the
process of applying for grants, scholarships, loans and
work-study for 2008-2009.
To apply for all federal and state
financial aid, as well as Pomona College financial aid, all
students and their parents are required to file the FAFSA
(Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and to
provide to
Pomona copies of their most recently filed federal tax
returns. Families who file the Form 1040 federal tax return
are also required to file the College Scholarship Service
PROFILE financial aid application.
The College evaluates each student's eligibility
for federal, state, and Pomona sources of aid
based on the student's FAFSA and PROFILE
applications and supporting tax documents.
View the schedule of deadlines
for a complete guide to required forms and
deadlines. Please note which
documents are listed for the relevant program and read the
description for each form. You may not need to submit every
document listed, but if you fail to submit the
necessary forms by the stated deadlines, you
could be ineligible for financial aid during
your first term at Pomona.
Special information for families with incomes
below $40,000
For students who come from families with
incomes of less than $40,000, Pomona College has
simplified the application process. Students who
qualify under this provision must complete a
FAFSA. The College will also need a copy of the
parents’ most recent federal tax return. If the
student’s parents did not file a federal tax
return, a Statement of Non-Filing Tax Status
must be completed. Additionally, families must
have filed a 1040A or 1040EZ tax return
to waive the Profile requirement.
SPECIAL NOTE: When completing all forms, an applicant must
use the same name that appears on her/his Social Security
card. Your legal name is the name on your social security
card and this should be the same name as on your birth
certificate. If you are a naturalized citizen, your legal
name is the name that appears on your Social Security card
and this should be the same name that appears on your
Certificate of Citizenship/Naturalization.
