Your participation in the Oswego State Fall Classic directly benefits Oswego State students.  In fact, it helps the college recruit the best and brightest students from around our state and nation.  All proceeds raised will support the Presidential Scholars Program, an initiative designed to attract and retain the best and brightest students to Oswego State.  These Presidential Scholars rank in the top 10 percent of their high school classes.  And the students give back to the campus by initiating lively classroom discussions, creating works of beauty in the visual and performing arts, and bringing their enthusiasm and commitment to campus and community life. 

Recipients are selected by the Office of Admissions based on their overall high school academic achievement.  Scholarships awarded in the 2005-2006 year consisted of:

        170 Presidential Scholarships - $4,400 per year for four years
                                                    (Average SAT - 1227, Average GPA 93%)

        90 Dean's Scholarships - $1,250 per year for four years
                                            (Average SAT - 1160, Average GPA 91%)
