  Pomona College
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.
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.
