The Elmira College Scholars Program awards five full-tuition scholarships per year to first-year, full-time students.
A committee comprised of faculty and administrators will review the Scholar Applicants and will select a group of finalists to interview. From the finalists, five students will be chosen as Elmira Scholars.
When reviewing applicants for the Elmira College Scholars Program, the committee will review holistically, meaning a thorough and comprehensive review of an applicant’s complete file will occur. The committee will review high school transcripts, academic profiles, letters of recommendation, personal statements, and scholarship essay.
Applicants need to have a 3.7 GPA unweighted academic GPA
Current high school students interested in applying should complete the Application for Admission as well as the Elmira Scholars Application through the EC Online Portal.
