Scholarship Renewal Requirements for Four-Year Students

  • Freshmen entering SUNYIT on a merit scholarship are required to maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA and be enrolled full-time at SUNYIT.
  • Renewal review will occur after the first year is completed, and subsequently on a semester basis. Students will be notified of their scholarship standing after their first semester.
  • Starting the junior year (completion of fifth semester), students are required to achieve either a 3.25 cumulative GPA or 3.25 semester GPA as a minimum and be enrolled full-time. NOTE: Does not apply to two-year residential scholarships.
  • Students who are unable to achieve the minimum GPA requirement or who withdraw from classes for extraordinary circumstances will have the opportunity to appeal their loss of scholarship to the Financial Aid Office.
  • Individual, organization or corporate funded scholarships may have additional obligations.
  • All scholarship recipients must maintain full-time status throughout the entire period of enrollment. Scholarship recipients who drop to part-time status (11 credit hours or less) or withdraw from classes completely during a semester in which they are receiving the scholarship will have their scholarship cancelled for that semester and for future semesters.
