Alfred State is proud of its commitment to recognize outstanding students by offering numerous scholarships. Since it is the desire of Alfred State to award scholarships to as many students as possible, typically students do not receive more than one scholarship. If a student qualifies for more than one award, the higher-value scholarship will be awarded. Enrollment deposits must be paid by the due date in order to maintain any scholarship awards.
The Alfred State Athletic Department is an NCAA Division III member. Therefore, athletic ability or athletic accomplishments will not be considered in determining students' scholarship eligibility or financial aid packages.
The following scholarships are available to incoming students who have been accepted and will enroll for the fall semester into a regular program and will be studying full time on either the Alfred or Wellsville campus. Please note: students studying online are not eligible for scholarships; scholarship funding is limited and meeting qualifications is not a guarantee of an award; the financial aid package, including scholarship awards, cannot exceed the cost of attendance.
