Scholarships

Scholarships are generated from a variety of sources including the college, high school, individual/s donors, and community organizations. Scholarships are separate from financial aid programs, like TAP and work-study, which a student must apply for separately on an annual basis.  If awarded a scholarship from SUNY Delhi, once accepted, it will automatically be applied to the recipient/student’s account.  Based on the type of scholarship, or amount, financial aid received may be adjusted.

Scholarships are awarded based on a multitude of factors, including academic excellence, major/study, geography, and personal achievements.
