Scholarships are established as either endowed or restricted accounts, according to the preference of the donor. Scholarships may be awarded to students based on matriculation status, school and department affiliation, financial need, academic achievement, commu nity service, county residency, grade level, and expected graduation date.
Unless otherwise indicated, scholarships are available to undergraduates only. The availablity of funds may influence the scholarship amount and whether it is regularly awarded.
The application process for scholarships varies, as has been specified by the donor. Some may require separate application, but the majority are applied for through financial aid application. If application is made in addition to or aside from filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), this will be noted.
All need-based scholarships require the filing of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is processed by an external agency in contract with the U.S. Department of Education. Information regarding financial aid eligibility of FAFSA filers is received by the Office of Student Financial Aid and Employment shortly after the FAFSA has been processed by the federal contractor. Incomplete or illegible data will cause an interruption in the student's application for scholarship consideration and may cause a student to lose such consideration. The University filing date for financial aid is currently March 1. Early filing of the FAFSA is advised for scholarship consideration.
Because the scholarship is made for the next academic year, it is considered part of the financial aid package. Should the selection be made after the original package is offered, and should there be no remaining unmet need, an
adjustment to the financial aid package is required starting with loans, then work programs, and finally need-based grants. Both Federal Pell Grants and New York State Tuition Assistance Program Grants are untouched in the adjustment process as they are entitlements.
Recipients are selected according to the criteria set by the donor in the gift agreement with the Foundation. Scholarships requiring committee selection of the recipient will be noted within the scholarship descriptions which follow. Interested applicants should check campus publications and communications, e.g. Pipe Dream, Inside, and Dateline, for announcements of scholarships which require separate application outside the financial aid process.
Most need-based scholarships are selected in March and April, shortly after the financial aid filing date, when offers for the next academic year are made. If the scholarship is merit-based, the applicant's academic records are reviewed. Usually, a minimum GPA of 3.0 (or as specified by the donor) is required for review. Scholarship funds are depleted rapidly once selection begins, and are not replenished until the next program year.
Scholarship recipients are normally notified through the Notice of Financial Aid Offer, sent by the Office of Student Financial Aid and Employment after selection has been made. If a special committee has selected the scholarship recipient, a separate letter may be sent by the committee or individual in charge of scholarship selection.
