Student Aid

To be eligible for grant aid at Bowdoin College, a student must:

• Be a degree candidate enrolled or is accepted for enrollment on at least a half- time basis.
• Demonstrate financial need, as determined by the College through our institutional policies and procedures.
• In addition, to qualify for any of the programs subsidized by the federal government, a student must be a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the United States or the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.
• A student is normally eligible for Bowdoin aid for a maximum of eight semesters. The College's Financial Aid Committee may award a ninth semester of aid based on its discretion.
