SUNY Oswego has awarded Cory Becker-Warren of Oneida, who is majoring in linguistics, a Destination Oswego Scholarship, which goes to high-achieving students from outside New York state.
Destination Oswego awards are worth from $20,000 to $36,000 over four years. SUNY Oswego honored more than 850 incoming students with merit scholarships. Outstanding first-year students are offered Presidential Scholarships of $20,000 ($5,00 a year for up to four years), $6,000 Deans’ Awards ($1,500 a year for up to four years), $3,000 Merit Awards ($750 a year for up to four years) and, for outstanding students from outside New York state, Destination Oswego scholarships of $5,000 to $9,000 a year.
The awards are part of about $6 million in merit scholarship money offered at SUNY Oswego. These funds are in addition to approximately $90 million in need-based grants, loans, work-study and scholarship awards that SUNY Oswego students receive annually.
