SUNY Plattsburgh offers partial scholarships to 100% of accepted international students. We do not offer full scholarships — our award packages cover between 20 – 40% of your total cost of attendance.
We award scholarships based on your academic merit (high school average or transfer GPA) and student type (first-year or transfer). We determine scholarship amounts after conducting a holistic review of your grades, academic and non-academic achievement, activities and exam scores (if available). You will be notified of your scholarship awards when you receive your admission decision.
The scholarship packages are renewable each year you attend.
There are 3 different types of scholarship
Scholarships for International First-Year Students
A first-year student is an applicant who has never earned college credit. All applicants who have earned college credits are considered transfer applicants.
Scholarships for International Transfer Students
An applicant who has earned college credit will be considered for scholarships based on our review of their college transcript(s).
Scholarships for Current International Students
First-year international students who did not qualify for the merit scholarship upon admission can become eligible for a scholarship based upon their cumulative SUNY Plattsburgh GPA. Any semester that these students achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or above will result in a $3,000 merit scholarship being applied to the next semester awards. Eligibility for this award remains in effect each semester until graduation.
