　　Applications are not required for these scholarships. See the accompanying chart for eligibility guidelines.

　　All scholarship students are expected to complete a FAFSA application as well as the TAP grant application from New York State when applicable. International students who are not eligible for government grants are not required to file the FAFSA or TAP application. Title IV aid (Pell and FSEOG) and TAP awards will be subtracted from the total cost of tuition, fees and books. The amount of the scholarship award will be based on the student’s remaining liability for these costs as well as the minimum and maximum limits of the award. Previous balances will not be covered by these scholarships.

Scholarships for Part-time Study

　　Students in their last semester of their Associate degree or Bachelor’s degree, who need less than four classes to graduate, may attend part-time and receive a pro-rated scholarship. One class would equal 25% of the scholarship; two classes, 50%; and three classes, 75%.

　　Students, who are not in their last semester, may attend part-time once and receive a pro-rated scholarship during the semester in which they are part-time, but will not receive the scholarship for the following semester.

Appeals

Appeals to the Scholarship Committee may be made and will be reviewed on a case by case basis by the committee. All inquiries and appeals must be submitted to the committee via the Financial Aid Office on the appropriate campus.
