Special Programs
Funding for Special Programs at Albion
Certain Albion programs fall outside the spectrum of conventional financial aid. These include off-campus study, participation in certain Albion institutes, and summer programs.
To help Albion students participate in these programs, special grants and scholarships have been made available.
Off-Campus Programs
Albion Grants for Off-Campus Study
- The Albion Go! Grant provides all enrolled students the opportunity to apply for up to $2,500 to cover expenses for pre-approved, off-campus intensive experiential learning opportunities.
Other Off-Campus Study Scholarship Resources
- IIE Passport provides a comprehensive Web site of scholarships, fellowships, and grants for those studying outside the U.S. This site allows you to search for funding by country, field of study, or various other criteria. Note that many of the funds will not be applicable to Albion-approved programs.
- Albion-approved program scholarships. You may find scholarship opportunities offered by your off-campus program (e.g., CIEE, SIT, IES, Boston University, Center for Cross-Cultural Studies, etc.). Some programs offer travel grants that can be applied to airfare. If you receive an award, contact the CIE Office.
Summer Study
Currently, financial aid is not available for those students who choose to study during the summer at Albion. Students in the Gerstacker Summer Institute are the exception. In order to receive funding for the summer students must complete a planning session with a student financial services counselor prior to enrolling for summer coursework.
