Quick Reference Columns
For the quick reference, the columns of the search list indicate the following criteria for each scholarship:
- Area of Study: Scholarships are sorted alphabetically by Area of Study/Academic School.
- Scholarships in the All Majors category do not have major-related restrictions and are open to students in all degree programs.
- Scholarships that list a specific Academic School (Ex: Art, Health Sciences, etc.) are scholarships that are restricted to students enrolled in a specific major/program. Look for the School that your major falls under and read the description for each scholarship in that category to see which majors are eligible to apply.
- Registration Status: Full-time students are enrolled in at least 12 credits per semester. Part-time students are enrolled in fewer than 12 credits per semester.
- Age Requirement: If this field is blank, there is no age requirement for the scholarship. If Ages 25+ is listed, the scholarship is only available to returning adult students who are aged 25 or older as of the date of the scholarship deadline.
- Residency: International students studying on a visa can use this column to see if a scholarship requires permanent New York State residency to apply.
