*Students must receive financial aid in order to qualify for this scholarship
This scholarship aims to assist current full-time undergraduates to graduate on time by participating in summer and winter session courses at Cornell. The scholarship covers the tuition of the course ONLY. Any other course fees, housing, food, etc. is the student’s responsibility. The scholarship only covers Cornell classes listed on the Continuing Education Website. Although many students wish to attend Summer or Winter Session, limited funding restricts scholarships to eligible applicants who receive Cornell grant aid and demonstrate both an academic and financial need.
Priority for scholarships is given in the following order:
1. Seniors who need to fulfill requirements for graduation.
2. Upper-class students who did not successfully complete a core course.
3. Students who need Summer or Winter Session credits to place them on schedule for graduation.
4. Students who need a course to fulfill requirements for getting into a major.
5. Students who have been encouraged to moderate their course load by an advisor due to extenuating circumstances.
6. Supporting students’ participation in a broad range of academic enrichment opportunities provided by Cornell.
The Deadline to apply for the scholarship is April 5th, 2021
