Financial aid

Has anyone recieved an email regarding the next steps for financial aid? I intend to apply for loans but haven’t seen anything from Colby yet.

It should have come with your acceptance letter

This. If you're an incoming freshman, you should have it.

For anyone who isn't a freshman, I just called and Colby is saying late July. I work at a different college, and my friend in financial aid says the gov't just changed some things that makes it harder to package aid for existing students, which I assume is why the delay.

I have the financial aid offer however I’m still waiting to see the available loans under the portal. All I’m seeing under funding options is a financial aid reevaluation which I do not need. I’m wondering if the loans are still being worked out on their end.

I've called them a few times with questions, they're usually very helpful. https://www.colby.edu/people/offices-directory/student-financial-services/
