Affordability is an important factor in the college search. To help you assess financial fit, try our estimator tools below. These tools provide insights into the types of need-based financial aid you may qualify for at Occidental College—giving you a clearer picture of what your costs could look like over four years.

A few things to keep in mind

Before using the tools, please note:

  • These calculators are designed for prospective first-year students only.
  • Merit scholarships are not included in the results.
  • Estimates are based on Occidental’s current cost of attendance.
  • The tools use self-reported family income and assets and apply standardized formulas to calculate your family’s estimated contribution. Contributions from noncustodial parents are not included in these estimates.
  • The results are a starting point for your planning but do not guarantee financial aid from Occidental College.
