<p>For enrolling students on a lot of financial aid (full ride) such as I, does pomona warrant a housing/enrollment deposit waiver?cz it would also seem to me that anyone who applied using a fee waiver of the 65$ application fee has acknowledged that paying 65$ would cause a financial strain to the family…meaning 500$ would DEFINITELY AND EXTENSIVELY strain the family financially,right?</p>
<p>Krato - All this money from this $500 deposit will be returned to you when you graduate or when you transfer, as long as you don’t have any parking tickets, fees, etc…
The check/money order will not be cashed either unless you have fees remaining after four years.
At least that is what the booklet said.</p>
<p>yeah thats very generous and logical of pomona but what of the case where a particular family is having difficulties raising the 500$,especially by the May 1 deadline?</p>
<p>call the school</p>
<p>I know Pomona is good about this. If you were granted an application fee waiver it’s likely the College will grant you a reduced deposit. My kid has a friend who told of having a total of $100 deposit made in four installments and had nothing but great things to say about the support and sensitivity of the financial aid office. Just call.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help by the way…i emailed them and they said i qualify for a reduced deposit of 100$.</p>
<p>very similar situation for me, can you let me know where you sent your email</p>
<p>Tried the fin aid office but I was told there was no fee waiver</p>
