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 2006:

• $4,350
• $2,175
• $1,000 Presidential

These scholarships are renewable annually provided recipients meet renewal requirements and full-time status at SUNYIT. In addition, $1,000 Residential Scholarships (renewable for the sophomore year) will be awarded with merit based scholarships for any freshman who achieved the graduation rank of High School Valedictorian or Salutatorian and enrolls at SUNYIT that same year. Currently 25% of our entering freshman students receive an academic merit award.

*Awards also include a residential portion which requires recipients to live on-campus to receive full award amount.
