Transfer Applicants: Applying for Financial Aid
We encourage students from all financial backgrounds to apply for admission to Colby. Though transfer admission is highly competitive, if you are admitted and qualify for aid, we’ll meet 100 percent of your need as determined by the College. And you won’t see loans as a part of your financial aid package, because it’s our policy not to include them. Don’t let the cost of attending deter you from applying to Colby.
