Pomona’s future depends on its ability to attract the most talented students wherever they are found.
Every year, exceptional young people arrive on campus carrying extraordinary ambition, creativity, determination and promise. They enrich every classroom, laboratory, studio, residence hall and athletic field. They challenge one another. They expand one another’s horizons. They elevate the entire community.
Why it matters
Pomona has long believed that financial circumstance should never determine who can access a Pomona education, or which opportunities students can pursue once they arrive. That commitment is essential not only to access, but to the strength of the College itself. When talented students from different socioeconomic backgrounds learn together, they bring different experiences, questions and perspectives into the life of Pomona. The result is a richer education for everyone.
What the campaign will do
This campaign will expand financial aid and student support for a wider range of students, including those from middle-income households. It will help Pomona continue to attract outstanding students from every socioeconomic background while ensuring that every Sagehen can participate fully in the experiences that define a Pomona education—from research and internships to study abroad, leadership development and community engagement.
What becomes possible
More students can choose Pomona based on possibility rather than price.
More students can take full advantage of everything a Pomona education offers.
And the College can continue to discover excellence wherever it exists.
