Outside Scholarships
Outside scholarships may be used to reduce a student's summer work or work-study contribution. Outside scholarships in excess of $4,200 will reduce the Bowdoin grant.
Health Insurance
Bowdoin requires all students to have health insurance, either through their parents or another plan. If student is not covered by a parental plan, the Bowdoin grant will be increased to cover the cost of the Bowdoin College student insurance plan.
Other Details
Students will have a yearly summer earnings expectation of $2,300. Students are also expected to earn $1,900 in federal work study during each academic year. To the extent that these combined earnings exceed the cost of books, personal expenses, and travel, the difference is paid toward tuition. The expectation for student earnings from summer and campus jobs may be adjusted over time to match the student's earning potential.
