I’m from CT and read that Pomona College in California provides travel and commuting assistance in financial aid. I have mostly been looking for colleges closer to home however these services would allow me to look more schools in different locations. I wasn’t able to find any info about this on their website, does anyone know about this or other colleges that provide this?
What is your EFC?
Pomona doesn’t cover travel expenses directly. It’s included as a component of work study and summer work experience- not something you’re billed for, but expected to work for in order to cover that part of the cost. There are some emergency funds available, but they’re meant for true emergencies where you don’t have funds saved up to go back home.
@TomSrOfBoston EFC is $12,000
With a $12,000 EFC Pomona will not pay anything for travel etc.
what about an EFC of 0? will Pomona still indirectly provide transportation costs or will it be included in the FA package?
and does anyone know of scholarships that cover costs like this?
