SUNY Plattsburgh Academic Merit Scholarship for International Students
Offered by SUNY Plattsburgh
About this scholarship
The SUNY Plattsburgh Academic Merit Scholarship for International Students is an admissions scholarship based on academic strength. Plattsburgh says it awards international scholarships based on academic merit, student type, and a holistic review of grades, academic and non-academic achievement, activities, and exam scores if available. All accepted international students are considered, and no separate scholarship application is required. For international first-year students, the Academic Merit Scholarship is listed at $0 to $3,500 annually. For international transfer students, the listed Academic Merit Scholarship is $0 to $500 annually for applicants with a college GPA of 3.5 or better. The award is partial funding and can be combined with other Plattsburgh international scholarship components, but the university does not offer full scholarships. International applicants should complete one admission application option, submit academic records with certified English translations when needed, document English proficiency, and provide the required financial guarantee. Nursing students and students paying the online non-resident tuition rate are excluded from the published package.
