International Student Aid

Pomona College is committed to meeting the full demonstrated need for all international students that apply for financial aid at the time of admission. The Admissions Committee takes financial need into consideration at the time of admission, so it is important that international applicants who need financial assistance to help with college costs apply for financial aid when applying for admission. Undocumented, DACAmented, and students that graduate from a US high school are considered domestic applicants and are not evaluated under the need aware policy.

Once an international student submits the admissions application to Pomona, their financial aid application status may not be changed. International students who are admitted to Pomona and have not applied for financial aid may not appeal for financial aid at a later date and will not be considered for financial aid as a returning student.

International students who intend to transfer to Pomona College may apply for need based financial aid at the time of admission only.

International aid applicants must complete the following:

• Pomona College International Financial Aid Application
• Translated copy of prior-prior year's tax documents or statement of earnings

Renewing Aid in Subsequent Years

The financial aid provided by Pomona is need based and students are required to reapply for assistance each year. Financial eligibility is reassessed each year; as a result, you may see an increase or decrease in the amount of financial aid offered each year if your family's financial circumstances change significantly.

The following must be submitted by our annually published deadline to reapply for financial aid:

• Translated copy of the prior-prior year's tax documents or statement of earnings
