More than $4 million in merit-based scholarships will be given to 魅影直播 State students in the fall of 2021, including those awarded through the college鈥檚 new Merit Scholarship Program.
The program includes four new scholarships for first-time freshmen enrolling in the fall 2021 semester on a full-time basis. To qualify, students must be accepted into a regular program and be studying on either the 魅影直播 or Wellsville campuses.
Vice President for Enrollment Management Betsy Penrose said, 鈥滣扔爸辈 State College has a long history of supporting students through scholarship aid. Last year, over $4 million was awarded to our students through the generosity of the ASC Development Fund, Educational Foundation, Alumni Association, ACES, and many additional donors. We are so fortunate to have so many organizations invested in our students. 魅影直播 State is excited to offer a new merit scholarship program that will assist even more hard-working and academically talented students who choose to attend this institution. SUNY offers an affordable and high- quality education. This scholarship makes 魅影直播 State even more affordable, especially to out-of-state students who pay additional tuition to attend in New York State.鈥
The new scholarships and their potential award amounts include:
鈥 魅影直播 State Scholars 鈥 Up to $5,000 per year (New York State residents only)
鈥 魅影直播 State Pioneer Award 鈥 Up to $1,800 per year (New York State residents only)
鈥 魅影直播 State Scholars Out-of-State 鈥 Up to $10,000 per year (non-New York State residents only)
鈥 魅影直播 State Pioneer Award Out-of-State 鈥 Up to $2,000 per year (non-New York State residents only)
No additional application for the scholarships is needed beyond the admissions application. Students should submit the admissions application and have all application materials to the Admissions Office by March 1.
Specific award amounts depend on the strength of the applicant鈥檚 academic background, with overall high school average being the main criteria for fall 2021. Applicants should note that the 魅影直播 State Pioneer and 魅影直播 State Scholars in-state awards are applied to non-tuition expenses such as books, supplies, fees, and transportation.
