I've been really drawn to Pomona University lately, but to be honest, I'm really stressed about tuition costs. Can anybody shed some light on what they might be? Thanks in advance.
Sure, I can help provide some insight into Pomona College's tuition costs! The full cost of attendance at Pomona for the 2024-2025 academic year, including tuition, fees, room, and board, is about $89,414. However, remember that the financial aid the college provides can greatly reduce this cost for you.
Pomona practices need-blind admissions for all applicants, including internationals, and meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students. This contributes to an average financial aid package of approximately $54,114.
It's also important to note that these figures are for a single academic year, so you'll need to multiply by four to estimate the cost for the entirety of your undergraduate degree, keeping in mind that the tuition may increase each year due to inflation.
Remember, if you're interested in the college but worried about the financial aspect, you should definitely still apply! Pomona has generous financial aid packages and additional aid could be available from other sources too. Just make sure to accurately complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and the CSS profile for Pomona. A good practice is to use the net price calculator on Pomona's official website before applying. This can help provide a customized estimate of what your family would be expected to contribute towards your education, based on your financial situation.
Don't feel discouraged by the sticker price. Many students pay far less than the full price thanks to financial aid!
