With profound gratitude, Occidental acknowledges the philanthropy of our scholarship donors. The close to 390 endowed scholarships that have been established throughout the College’s history, in addition to the 60 annual scholarships that were created in 2019-20 alone, helped to provide 74 percent of Oxy students with some sort of financial assistance last year.
Occidental consistently ranks as one of the country’s most economically diverse campuses; in 2019-20, the average financial aid package amounted to $45,828. Such scholarship support profoundly enhances our ability to provide our gifted and talented students with the means, opportunities and resources to become tomorrow’s leaders. Ensuring access to Oxy's innovative curriculum as well as dedicated faculty and staff has never been more important and we appreciate this critical investment in our ability to offer the Oxy experience to generations of students to come.
