Cal Poly Pomona General Scholarships refer to those scholarships that are administered through the Office of Financial Aid. These scholarships are generally awarded to entering and/or continuing students on the basis of academic merit, leadership, talent and community service. Financial need is a criterion for some but not all scholarships. All academic majors are considered. General scholarships require a minimum GPA of 3.0 and full-time enrollment.
Students who complete the Cal Poly Pomona General Scholarship application are automatically considered for the scholarships for which they are eligible. Scholarships are normally awarded during spring and summer for the following academic year. During that time award notices are sent which include the scholarship amount. Students do not receive denial notices. Consideration for scholarships may continue throughout the year.
