Possibility Scholarship
SUNY Oswego's new Possibility Scholars program aims to help students in the Oswego and Syracuse City School Districts who otherwise would not be able to afford pursuing degrees in science and technology fields. The program provides support for tuition, room and board, as well as hands-on research and international service learning.
Through the generosity of our leading donors, SUNY Oswego will deliver meaningful personal and financial assistance to students who face significant barriers to attending college. This scholarship program will transform the lives of student scholars and set them on a trajectory that can meet both their individual achievement goals and humanity's need for knowledge to conquer pressing global challenges.
This is a critical initiative because we realize how important our public mission is to educate thoughtful, well-prepared citizens in a globalized society. Communities thrive when all people have the chance to succeed.
