Albion College Promise

Albion College Promise: Supporting Michigan Families

The Albion College Promise is exclusive to graduating Michigan high school seniors and transfer students. Albion College will cover 100% of tuition for Michigan families making under $55,000 annually, after the Michigan Tuition Grant, Michigan Achievement Scholarship, and Federal Pell Grant are applied. Families are responsible for fees, as well as housing and food charges; however, federal loans may be applied toward these costs.

Albion College Promise Eligibility and Conditions

Families with significant assets atypical for their income level may not qualify for the Albion College Promise. Assets include, but are not limited to, cash and savings; investments; home equity; business worth; farm worth; and other real estate equity. The number of people in the household can also affect eligibility. Upon submission of the FAFSA to Albion College, the student must be eligible for the Federal Pell Grant to receive the Albion College Promise.

If you qualify, your financial aid will include scholarships and grants totaling at least the cost of tuition. Your financial aid may contain a variety of awards (Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Michigan Tuition Grant, Michigan Achievement Scholarship, institutional scholarships and grants). These, together, make up the Albion College Promise.

Students must also live in campus-owned housing and be pursuing their first Bachelor’s degree.

The Albion College Promise applies for the Fall 2024 incoming class. The Albion College Promise does not account for possible tuition and fee increases for future academic years.
