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 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.

Distinguished Albion Scholars
Amount: A limited number of invitation-only scholarships covering from 75% to 100% of tuition. Renewable.

• Distinguished Albion Scholars are selected from among Trustee Scholarship awardees. Candidates demonstrate outstanding academic achievements, skills, special talents, and abilities – qualities that define a superior Albion first-year student. Additionally, these students will serve as leaders and mentors for others in class, 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, in some cases a student's exceptional contribution outside of standard academic measures may take precedence. 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.
