The University at Albany, part of the SUNY system, offers various scholarship options for students. Merit-based scholarships include the Presidential Scholarship, which covers full tuition for high-achieving students, and the Provost Scholarship, offering partial tuition support. Need-based aid is available through federal and state programs like the Excelsior Scholarship.
Department-specific scholarships are awarded by individual schools within the university, such as the College of Arts and Sciences or the School of Business. External scholarships, like those from the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence, are also accessible. Students should complete the FAFSA and explore the university’s financial aid portal for opportunities.
