Pomona College Funded Programs
Pomona College funds include scholarships, grants, loans and work. The amounts and type of College aid in a package depend on the student's financial need and the specific instructions governing each separate fund. In some instances, students are required to complete special documents to receive highly-restricted scholarship aid. All applicants for Pomona College funded aid are required to file a Profile Application, which is printed and processed by the College Scholarship Service. This form does require the payment of a fee. The College also requires applicants to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
 
Pomona College Grants and Scholarships
Pomona College has income available from endowment and from annual gifts to the College to fund College grants and scholarships. All such awards are based on a student's financial need as determined by the Office of Financial Aid. A complete listing of these awards can be found in the Pomona College Catalog.
 
Pomona College Loans
The Pomona College loan program allows students to borrow to cover a portion of the family contribution. Pomona College Loans are interest free for the life of the loan.

In addition, there is also an interest-free program available on a restricted basis to graduates of California high schools. Recipients must be U.S. citizens, enrolled full-time, and be in good academic standing. In past years, there has been a family income ceiling for these programs. This policy is reviewed annually as is the maximum loan amount available. The special application for this program is available to admitted students upon acceptance of an offer of admission.

Pomona College Self-Help Employment
Pomona College Self-Help employment is a need-based work program packaged in financial aid awards. The provisions are similar to those of the Federal Work-Study program. However, this program is funded solely by Pomona College.
