I know this is a late reply but I'm new and just perhaps you're still lurking around.
30% at Claremont is probably fairly generous. I know of three graduates (all PhDs) whom were given next to nothing for financial aid. From hearing them talk, that appears to be the norm at the school -- a "you're accepted as long as you can pay your own way."
On the flipside, the school appears to go out of their way to find teaching employment for PhD students (especially in religion and philosophy) in local community colleges and evening classes at universities while attending. All three of the people I know were teaching intro courses in their field by Spring of 2nd year.
