We seek bright, talented and driven students from all over the world.

We admit a first-year class representing a broad range of interests, viewpoints, talents and backgrounds. Pomona is need-blind for U.S. citizens, permanent residents, eligible non-citizens (such as refugees) and undocumented students who graduate from a high school in the United States.

We admit transfer students as sophomores or juniors, and welcome applicants who have attended community colleges, public and international universities, private colleges, and those who have military experience.

Pomona College is one of a handful of institutions committed to need-blind admissions for domestic students and meeting the full demonstrated financial need of the students who enroll.More than half of Pomona students receive some form of financial aid. The Need-Based Financial Aid commitment means a student's financial need is determined after a careful review of each family's financial documents. We do our best to take into account each family's unique circumstances.
