The fine print
Institutional aid at Albion College cannot push the package past $75,340. Big outside wins can mathematically reduce institutional grant once the ceiling is reached.

The fine print / Three questions to carry forward
Before you count on it.
Does it apply to us? Confirm the entering year, residency and every eligibility condition.
Can we keep it? Check renewal GPA, credits and how long the award lasts.
Can we combine it? Ask how outside scholarships and other school awards change the offer.

How Albion College compares
- 235 of 749 verified schools in our dataset use cost-of-attendance cap displacement.
Albion College is in a recognizable cluster (235 schools share this category). That framing matters when comparing peer schools that may publish the policy differently or not at all.
- 665 of 749 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Albion College is one of them. The cohort minority (84 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
