Special Programs
Albion offers a variety of merit and special scholarships ranging from $26,000 to $40,000 as well as performance scholarships, regardless of need.
Grants help for families who need assistance to pay for college. Grants are a gift and do not need to be repaid.
Work on-campus to earn the money you need to cover your expenses.
Unlike scholarships or grants, loans must be paid back. However, you won’t have to repay most student loans until you’ve graduated from college.
Certain Albion programs fall outside the spectrum of conventional financial aid. These include off-campus study, participation in certain Albion institutes, and summer programs.
