<p>S is working through the material Admissions sent. Question re the Scholarship Data Sheet. Does this need to be filled out by every admitted student, or just those who will get FA? I know Pomona does not give merit scholarships, so my assumption is that if you don't qualify for FA you're on your own and the Scholarship Data Sheet can be ignored. I asked Admissions but haven't heard back yet. Does anyone out there know? Thanks.</p>
<p>Got answer from Pomona. In case anyone is interested: Scholarship Data Sheet only applies if FA is received. If not, ignore.</p>

<li>So is this more of a reflective essay-type statement or a straightforward “I am involved in this activity…”.</li>
<li>Does it have to be handwritten?</li>
<li>If we were to shorten and slightly change a previously used personal statement, would that be acceptable or should it be a completely new personal essay?
Thank you!</li>

<p>I would say yes to all but to be safe just ask the FA people directly: <a href=“mailto:financial.aid@pomona.edu”>financial.aid@pomona.edu</a>.</p>
