The Albion College Commitment is the minimum amount of scholarship and grant support you will receive from the College.  We are committed to helping students meet the cost of education and provide need-based grants to students who qualify.  A FAFSA is required for these funds.  In many cases, students are eligible for endowed scholarships or grants from the College which will be used to meet this commitment.
