Pomona College PAYS Program

The Pomona College Academy for Youth Success (PAYS) enrolls over 90 local high school students and seeks to support them in preparing for admission to selective and highly selective colleges and universities. PAYS scholars engage in a thought-provoking combination of college-level courses, cultural events, workshops, projects and field trips during the intensive 4-week, residential program as well as throughout the academic year, for 3 consecutive years upon acceptance into our program. PAYS serves rising sophomores through rising seniors from groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education—students who are first in their family to attend college and/or from low income families.
