Fredonia Scholar Award
Offered by SUNY Fredonia
About this scholarship
The Fredonia Scholar Award is a renewable merit award for entering first-year students. Fredonia lists it at $4,000 per year for students with a 90 to 94 cumulative weighted high school average. The Office of Admissions awards the scholarship to full-time first-year students at the time of acceptance, after students complete the admission application process through the SUNY Application or Common Application. The award is partial funding because it supports non-tuition related expenses such as fees, room and board, books, personal expenses, travel, and study-abroad-related costs, but it is not a full cost-of-attendance guarantee. Recipients must plan to enroll full time and live on campus. Renewal requires a minimum 2.8 GPA, continued full-time status, completion of FAFSA annually where applicable, and residence in a university residence hall or townhouse. The deposit deadline to receive the scholarship is May 1 for fall entry and December 1 for spring entry. Fredonia states that international applicants are reviewed for all merit-based awards at acceptance and notified shortly after.
