Â鶹ƵµÀ's initiative to increase the affordability of an Occidental education for low- and middle-income California families.
Ìý
Introduced in 2021, Occidental's Cal Grant Promise is designed to help California residents with the cost of an OccidentalÌýeducation. Students who qualify for a will have 100% of their tuition covered by the College.
Because Occidental meets 100% of every student’s demonstrated need based on the total cost of attendance, for many students, a significant portion of the cost of room and board will also be covered by grant aid. With this level of financial support, the cost of an Â鶹ƵµÀeducation can be comparable to that of a state college or university.
We strongly encourage every prospective student from California to use our Quick Cost EstimatorsÌýto determine their eligibility for need-based aid. Once you have received your calculation results, we encourage families to apply to Â鶹ƵµÀand complete the full financial aid application.
