Merit Scholarships
Our merit scholarship program recognizes academic achievement. We also consider supplemental information such as an applicant's essay, letters of reference and extracurricular activities.

The following freshman academic merit scholarship amounts were awarded for fall 2008:

  • $4,350
  • $2,175
  • $1,000

These scholarships are renewable annually provided recipients meet renewal requirements and full-time status at SUNYIT. Currently the top 20-25% of our entering freshman students receive an academic merit award.
