In our knowledge-based economy, the possibilities generated by a college education are limitless. The knowledge our students gain and the life-changing experiences they encounter will not only empower and uplift them individually, but also will advance the public good and help propel America to the next frontier.
Future global solutions will begin with the ideas formulated in the classrooms and laboratories of today. Investment in human capital now will yield benefits of scientific and social innovation tomorrow.
One of the most intractable challenges we face in America today is how to affordably and effectively bring more people into college and ensure success in the most promising fields of study. Unfortunately, for many students with less advantaged circumstances, a college education can prove too great a financial hardship or cultural leap.
With the launch of the Possibility Scholarship, SUNY Oswego and our family of supporters have the power to be an instrument of change by tapping into the potential of students to bolster the foundations of American competitiveness, humanitarianism and world leadership.
A World-Changing Legacy
From its beginnings nearly 150 years ago, Oswego has sent graduates out to be leaders in education and innovation around the world. Today our mission becomes more deliberate.
The complexity of human and environmental problems and the increasing rate of change in the world compel us to respond with more knowledge-intensive academic programs.
We must transform students into professionals and global citizens who are able to think critically and who possess the perspective and understanding to confront and deal with tomorrow's burgeoning challenges.
The opportunities to be unleashed by this scholarship are liberating, ambitious and promise to have an exponential impact on our regional, state, national and world communities.
