2006-2007 Annual Report - Cal Poly Pomona

Cal Poly Pomona prides itself on providing an affordable quality education, offering fees below the nationwide average for state universities; however, the cost of providing a quality education continues to rise, making private fundraising and gifts increasingly significant. Every dollar of support from each donor contributes to Cal Poly Pomona’s mission of providing lifelong learning to students. In 2006-2007, Cal Poly Pomona raised approximately $34 million from external support (non-state or tuition/fees).
