<p>I'm applying ED for Pomona, but I want to apply to Claremont if I don't get in. I'm wondering if I should spend the money to apply by Dec 1st to try to get the scholarship or if I should wait to see if I get into Pomona (Dec. 15) before I apply to Claremont. I'm applying for financial aid, so will getting this scholarship even matter? Thanks!</p>
<p>CMC meets 100% of a student's "need" with their financial aid packages. Any scholarships won are not counted when considering a students "need" so, financial aid or not, it's definately worthwhile to apply early enough to be eligible for this scholarship.</p>
<p>And you'll want to go to CMC anyway...</p>
