Renaissance Scholars
Please review the following steps and their deadlines.
Complete and submit the online California State University Admissions application at Cal State Apply, and monitor the CSU website for updated deadlines.
Applying for the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is not required for our RS program, but it is strongly recommended. You can apply through Cal State Apply and select 'Yes' if you're interested in applying to the EOP program. The final deadline to submit the EOP application to Cal Poly Pomona is January 15, 2025.
The priority deadline for the FAFSA and CADAA is usually March 2nd each year. For the 2025-26 cycle, the priority deadline in California will be March 3rd, 2025, since March 2nd falls on a weekend.
We encourage you to complete your financial aid application as early as possible before the deadline and to regularly check the websites for updates.
Complete and submit the Online Renaissance Scholars Application and verification documents. Please reach out to us if you need any assistance.
