Grants
Help for families who need assistance to pay for college.
Like scholarships, need-based grants are a gift. They’re based on financial need and require a completed FAFSA.
Albion Grants
Albion Legacy Scholarships
Amount: $3,000 Renewable
Available to students whose family includes one or more Albion alumni (brother, sister, father, mother, grandparents) who have graduated from the College. Students should indicate their alumni connections on their application for admission to receive this award. Students who receive an Albion Referral Scholarship are not eligible for the Alumni Grant.
Contact your Admission representative or e-mail admission@albion.edu for more information.
Albion Institutional Commitment
Amount: Varies
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.

OCP grants are competitive awards applied to the cost of an off-campus semester or yearlong program.
