The State University of New York (SUNY) New Paltz offers various scholarships to support students financially. These include merit-based awards, need-based grants, and program-specific scholarships. The SUNY New Paltz Foundation administers many of these opportunities, such as the Presidential Scholarship for high-achieving students and the Diversity Equity Inclusion Scholarship.
External options like the Excelsior Scholarship provide tuition-free education for eligible NY residents. Students should complete the FAFSA to qualify for need-based aid and check the university’s financial aid portal for updates. Departmental scholarships are also available for specific majors, often requiring separate applications.
