Other options

Endowed Scholarships

Colby-Sawyer also has many endowed scholarships that are given to students who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in high school or while attending college. These awards may have specific criteria, including financial need, and are not automatically renewed each year. Students can not apply for these, as they are awarded at the discretion of the Financial Aid Office.

Outside Scholarships

Generally, outside scholarships are used to fill unmet need. If there is no remaining unmet need the financial aid award offered may be adjusted. All outside scholarships must be reported to the Financial Aid Office. If you have received an outside scholarship, please fill out and return the scholarship form.
