Alfred State Pioneer Award
Offered by Alfred State College (SUNY)
About this scholarship
The Alfred State Pioneer Award is a current merit scholarship for first-time, full-time students beginning an associate degree at the SUNY college. New York State residents may receive up to $2,500 per year, with the highest level normally associated with a high-school GPA of 91.5 or better. The actual award depends on academic strength and funding availability. Students must study on campus at Alfred or Wellsville, and the scholarship is applied to non-tuition educational expenses such as books, supplies, fees, and transportation. No separate scholarship form is required: admission through the official SUNY application is the consideration mechanism, so this record links directly to ApplySUNY. Recipients must commit to Alfred State by May 1 to secure an offer. Continued eligibility requires at least a 2.0 GPA every semester, continuous full-time enrollment, and ongoing study at an eligible campus. Some scholarships may not be offered to spring entrants. The $10,000 value in the discovery directory appears to aggregate multiple years; this page uses the official current annual maximum instead. Out-of-state students have a separate residential Freeway version with different amounts and requirements and should not rely on this in-state record.
