Number of College Students Awarded Excelsior Scholarship Not Known


It’s still unclear just how many students applied for and will be awarded the state’s new Excelsior Scholarship announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year.

Onondaga Community College Financial Aid Director Becky Rose says they won’t know until December exactly how many students will get the scholarship that allows them to go to SUNY and CUNY schools tuition-free.

The scholarship is available to full-time students with family incomes up to $100,000 this year. The income threshold will go up to $125,000 per year over the next few years.
