Request Information
Whatever you put into your time at Albright, you get back tenfold. Your energy is always met with equal enthusiasm and interest. You can go to a professor with an idea, or they come to you because they know what you’re interested in, and say ‘let’s do it.’ The relationships are incredible and translate into amazing experiences.”
- Abigail Platero ’22, co-majored in arts administration and history

Optimize your financial aid
Nearly all of our Lions receive financial aid, so we encourage every student to submit their
Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(aka the FAFSA) as soon as possible during their admission process. Your FAFSA not only helps determine your eligibility for student loans and grants, but also scholarships and campus jobs. Students should submit their FAFSA on or after October 1 of their senior year of high school to receive the best possible financial aid package early in their college search and decision process.
