Each year, Elmira College offers academic scholarships to students interested in joining our Soaring Eagle Family.

Students accepted for admission are automatically reviewed for a scholarship or award. Amounts range from $8,000 to $22,000 with five competitive, full-tuition scholarships available.  Each student is awarded one academic scholarship or award. If a student qualifies for more than one academic scholarship or award, the scholarship of highest value will be awarded.
