Elmira College Scholars Program Deadline Approaches

As a prospective student, don’t leave money on the table. You can apply to receive one of EC's most comprehensive scholarships if you apply by 11:59 p.m., December 31.

If awarded, you'll receive a full-tuition scholarship for your first year. That scholarship amount is applied each year for up to four years while you are at EC. Submit applications by 11:59 p.m., December 31.

This scholarship program recognizes students from all over the world for their exceptional academics, extra-curricular activities, and for being generally well-rounded individuals. In addition to students from states like Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Utah, recent recipients include students from Ireland, Morocco, and Canada. Recipients also receive access to honors seminars and courses.

Applicants need to have a 3.7 unweighted academic GPA to apply. A committee will review high school transcripts, academic profiles, letters of recommendation, personal statements, and a 500-750-word essay based on a prompt. Scholarship recipients will receive the full-tuition scholarship each year of attendance, up to four years.

Those finalists who are not selected as an Elmira Scholar will be eligible for a $30,000 Trustee Scholarship. The Trustee Scholarship replaces all other Elmira College Scholarships, Grants, and Awards. Also, New York State residents may be eligible for tuition with the Soaring Eagles Take Flight Initiative, which combines scholarships with state and federal grants and awards to cover full-time tuition and mandatory fees. Residents in neighboring states, including Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, may qualify for the Good Neighbor award. Visit our Scholarships & Awards page for details.

Current high school students interested in applying should complete the Application for Admission and the Elmira Scholars Application through the EC Online Portal.
