Scholarships

Scholarships Available to Cortland Students

SUNY Cortland awards thousands of dollars in Study Abroad Scholarships each year. These scholarship opportunities are available to SUNY Cortland students only. Scholarships are based on academic performance or academic performance and financial need.

Scholarships vary from about $500 to $1,500, and there are a limited number of larger awards of $2,000 - $4,000 available. A detailed description of each scholarship is available at Study Abroad Scholarships. Students must apply to a study abroad program for a study abroad scholarship and can apply for the scholarships at the time of completing their online study abroad application.

Exchange Awards can be another opportunity for an affordable experience abroad. SUNY Cortland has partner agreements with several universities abroad. When these universities send students to study at SUNY Cortland for a semester, we are able to send a Cortland student to the partner university for a semester without incurring the overseas tuition. Depending on the partner university, this can result in significant savings for a Cortland student. Exchange awards vary from semester to semester. Please consult with a study abroad advisor to see if an exchange award is available for a particular program.

Although not specifically targeted toward study abroad, these scholarships are available to all SUNY Cortland continuing and/or graduate students and can help off-set additional costs associated with a study abroad program.
