Transfer students are considered for a merit scholarship at the time that they are reviewed for admission to SUNYIT. A separate scholarship application is not required. Students will be notified in writing if they are awarded a scholarship. Scholarships are awarded on a first come basis - early applicants have the best opportunity for scholarships. Only full-time applicants will be considered for merit scholarships.
Merit Scholarships are renewable for a second year. Renewal requirements for transfer students are as follows:
- Students must maintain a 3.25 cumulative GPA upon completion of their first year of study at SUNYIT
- Students must be enrolled full-time (12 credit hours or more) throughout their entire period of enrollment at SUNYIT. Scholarship recipients who drop to part-time status (11 credit hours or less) or withdraw from classes completely during a semester in which they are receiving the scholarship will have their scholarship cancelled permanently. If the scholarship has already paid for that semester, the money must be returned.
- Students who do not achieve the minimum GPA requirement or who withdraw from classes for extraordinary circumstances will have the opportunity to appeal their loss of scholarship to the Scholarship Appeals Committee through the Financial Aid Office
