Albion’s academic scholarships are awarded to students with outstanding
academic records or unique skills, talents, or abilities. You will automatically
be considered for the following awards when you apply.
All Albion academic scholarships are based solely upon stated merit,
regardless of need. All are renewable each year, subject to satisfactory
academic progress. In general, all Albion academic scholarship recipients should
strive to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
The Distinguished Albion Scholars Program is an invitation-only competition.
For details on how you can be considered, please call the Admissions Office,
800/858-6770, and ask to speak with the representative who recruits in your high
school or region of the country.
Distinguished Albion Scholars
Amount: A limited number of scholarships covering from 75% to 100% of
tuition. Renewable.
Guidelines:
Distinguished Albion Scholars are selected from among Trustee
Scholarship awardees and have demonstrated outstanding academic
achievements, skills, special talents, and abilities that define a superior
Albion first-year student. Additionally, these students will serve as
leaders and mentors for others in class, in co-curricular activities, and
within the greater Albion community.
While most Distinguished Albion Scholars will reflect the highest
academic achievement among all Albion first-year students, awardees may
possess a unique talent, special gift, or skill or have made an exceptional
contribution to their community that reflects the overall mission of Albion
College. In some cases a student's exceptional contribution outside of
standard academic measures may take precedence.
Qualified students who apply and are accepted by January 1, 2008 will be
sent an invitation to the competition, scheduled for February 9, 2008.
