Financial Aid Appeals
Colby is committed to ensuring that students can achieve their educational goals, even in the midst of hardships or unexpected financial changes. If your family’s circumstances have changed since you first applied for financial aid, filing an appeal with the financial aid office may help you access additional funding or financing resources. Contact the Financial Aid Office at [email protected] to schedule an appointment to discuss your appeal options and next steps.
Two Year Waiting Period
Students who do not complete an aid application for Colby institutional aid prior to admission will not be considered for College grant assistance for two award years, unless there have been substantial unexpected and unavoidable changes to the family financial circumstances. Unexpected and unavoidable changes do not include anticipated changes such as an additional child enrolled in college, nor does it include employment changes which were discretionary choices. This two year waiting period applies to Colby institutional financial aid only.
