<p>For those who are currently at Pomona and are low-income student, I have some questions about your financial aid. How much scholarship and loan did you receive first year? And did the amount change second year [like they give you more loans and less scholarship]? Is it common for Pomona to give great financial aid first year [like no loan and all scholarships and grants and work-study], and then load you with loans later?</p>
<p>I asked around.....finaid seems to be just about the same every year in composition, unless the tuition goes up, in which case they increase the scholarship amounts.</p>
<p>that's good, because i heard that someone who got like almost full scholarship first year and somehow most of it converted into loan the next year. I knew that's very uncommon but I just want to make sure. Thanks!</p>
