Endowed funds are an investment in your future made possible by generous individuals who believe in a Colby-Sawyer education.

Non-government other scholarships from outside of Colby-Sawyer may help to supplement your financial need.
An outside scholarship is any scholarship not awarded by the government or the college, such as a scholarship provided by a private sector company, philanthropist or foundation. If you receive such scholarship, you are required to report it to the Financial Aid Office by sending a copy of the award letter or certificate.
Outside scholarships are considered resources and are used to supplement any unmet need and, if necessary, reduce self-help aid such Federal Work Study and/or loans. In rare cases, outside scholarships over the amount of unmet need and self-help aid may result in the reduction of college need-based aid.
Institutional scholarships and awards are subject to change by action of the Colby-Sawyer College Board of Trustees.
