The School of Humanities and Sciences awarded 116 students roughly $300,000 in endowed scholarships for the 2021-22 academic year. The majority of endowed scholarships are awarded to high-achieving students who demonstrate financial need. Please note that determination of financial need is made on the basis of each student’s FAFSA. The priority deadline for filing the FAFSA is March 1. If you have questions about your scholarship eligibility as it relates to financial need, please visit the Student Financial Services website or call (607) 274-3131. Students must have a current FAFSA on file with Student Financial Services in order to be considered for scholarships for which financial need is a requirement.
