Paying for LACs (Pomona!) :O

Paying for College
1

<p>When looking at a variety of LACs it’s obvious that they are really expensive with a lot of them being around $40,000 or more. When I looked at one of my dream schools, Pomona College, I noticed the tuition is about $54,000 annually. However the estimated debt at graduation is $10,000. How does this work? I am skeptical about how low the price is even with financial aid and scholarships.</p>

<p>Pomona is one of several schools that commits to meeting the entire need of eligible students without loans.</p>

<p>So, higher income families pay (or borrow). Students without such resources will get assistance in the form of grants and work-study. No loans.</p>
