When the 17th annual Oswego State Fall
Classic tees off Sept. 8 at the Oswego Country Club,
it will mean more than just fun for participants in
the event. The Fall Classic brings together college
and community partners to support scholarships for Oswego
State students.
Constellation Energy and the New York State Laborers-Employers
Cooperation and Education Trust Fund will once again
serve as Presidential Sponsors, lending their support
at the highest level to the effort to raise funds for
the Presidential Scholars program at the college.
Since its inception in 1990, the Fall Classic has raised
more than $3.1 million to help support students, especially
through the Presidential Scholars Program.
The Presidential Scholars program is an initiative designed
to attract academically accomplished students —
ranking in the top 10 percent of their high school classes
— to SUNY Oswego.
In the 2005-06 academic year, Oswego awarded 170 Presidential
Scholarships of $4,400 per year for four years to students
with a high-school grade average of 93 and an average
SAT score of 1227. The program supported another 90
Deans' Scholarship recipients, who receive $1,250 per
year for four years.
Since the fall semester of 1997, the Fall Classic has
provided over $1.6 million in scholarship money for
more than 1,000 Presidential Scholarships.

Classic, call 315-312-3003. |
