New York State (NYS) STEM Scholarship
The New York State (NYS) STEM scholarship is an award that covers SUNY or CUNY undergraduate resident tuition. If your school district identified you to the NYS Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) as being in the top ten percent of your NYS high school graduating class, you may meet initial eligibility requirements to complete the STEM scholarship application.
POINTS TO CONSIDER PRIOR TO ACCEPTING A STEM SCHOLARSHIP:
1. Are you planning on going to a State University of New York (SUNY) or CUNY college or university, studying in a STEM program of study and working in a STEM career in NYS after graduation? To be eligible, a NYS student graduating in the top ten percent of their class from a NYS high school must:
? Attend a SUNY or CUNY college or university
? Be a NYS resident
? Enroll in a two year or four year program of study that meets the approved STEM requirements and maintain a 2.5 average
? Earn a degree from a SUNY or CUNY in an approved STEM program
? Find employment in an approved STEM career in NYS
? Continue to work in an approved STEM career for five years following graduation in New York State
2. Are you a NYS Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) recipient? You may want to determine whether the STEM scholarship is beneficial for you, considering the five year NYS service requirement after you graduate from college. The STEM scholarship covers resident SUNY undergraduate tuition. If you receive a significant TAP grant, you should know the TAP grant is applied to your tuition bill before the STEM scholarship. This may result in a low STEM award - or none at all if you are receiving a full TAP grant.
3. Your college will certify your scholarship eligibility after the end of each term. Students will need to find another source to pay their tuition if the campus is unable to certify eligibility resulting in no award for that term. Additionally, scholarship funds received may revert to an immediate repayable loan on the part of the student. Circumstances under which the campus will be unable to certify your eligibility:
? Failure to meet the 2.5 cumulative average following each term after the first term of your freshman year. You may be able to regain eligibility in a future term if you fail to meet the eligibility in a current or prior term.
? Changing your major out of an approved STEM program
4. Conditions under which a scholarship that has been certified by your campus becomes a loan, which must be repaid:
? Changing your major out of an approved STEM program at any point prior to graduation
? Entering the workforce after graduation in a non-approved STEM career
? Moving out of NYS before completing the five year service requirement in an approved STEM career
5. If you are still uncertain whether you want to apply for this scholarship after reviewing the information in this document, you can review additional information detailing the STEM scholarship on the HESC website and contact your campus financial aid office to discuss the terms of eligibility.
紐約州立大學(xué)科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金
紐約州立大學(xué)科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金是一項(xiàng)涵蓋紐約州立大學(xué)或紐約城市大學(xué)本科居民學(xué)生學(xué)費(fèi)的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。如果你的學(xué)區(qū)在向紐約州高等教育服務(wù)公司報(bào)告中將你鑒定為紐約州高中畢業(yè)班前百分之十頂尖的學(xué)生，那么你可能符合科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金申請(qǐng)的初步資格要求。
在接受科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金之前有以下幾點(diǎn)要考慮：
1.你是否打算去紐約州立大學(xué)或紐約城市大學(xué)高校系統(tǒng)中的學(xué)院或大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)?是否想學(xué)科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)相關(guān)專業(yè)，是否想畢業(yè)后在紐約州從事科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)行業(yè)?為了符合資格，除了從紐約州高中畢業(yè)的時(shí)候成績(jī)達(dá)到前百分之十，你還必須滿足以下：
(1)在紐約州立大學(xué)或紐約城市大學(xué)高校系統(tǒng)中的學(xué)院或大學(xué)就讀;
(2)注冊(cè)兩年制或者四年制的滿足獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金要求的課程，并且平均績(jī)點(diǎn)保持在2.5;
(3)從紐約州立大學(xué)或紐約城市大學(xué)高校系統(tǒng)中的學(xué)院或大學(xué)中拿到符合獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金要求的課程的學(xué)位;
(4)畢業(yè)后在紐約州從事科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)行業(yè)五年。
2.你獲得過紐約州學(xué)費(fèi)援助項(xiàng)目獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金嗎?你可以需要明確科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金是否對(duì)你有利，需要考慮畢業(yè)后在紐約州工作五年的要求?？茖W(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金涵蓋紐約州立大學(xué)本科居民學(xué)生學(xué)費(fèi)。如果你獲得了學(xué)費(fèi)援助項(xiàng)目獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，那么你應(yīng)該知道該項(xiàng)目獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金在科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金之前適用于你的學(xué)費(fèi)賬單。這可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致你獲得的科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金減少，或者干脆得不到——如果你獲得的學(xué)費(fèi)援助項(xiàng)目獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金是全額獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金的話。
3.你的學(xué)院會(huì)在每個(gè)學(xué)期結(jié)束之后對(duì)你的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金資格進(jìn)行核實(shí)。如果學(xué)校無法核實(shí)你的資格(這會(huì)導(dǎo)致你在該學(xué)期不能獲獎(jiǎng))，那么你將需要尋找其他渠道的資金來繳納學(xué)費(fèi)。除此以外，獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金有可能代你將資金返還到需要立即償還的貸款中。
學(xué)校無法核實(shí)你的資格的情況有如下：
(1)在大一第一學(xué)期之后，每學(xué)期未能滿足2.5的累積平均績(jī)點(diǎn)要求。如果你在當(dāng)前學(xué)期或者前一個(gè)學(xué)期沒能滿足資格，你還可以在往后的學(xué)期重新獲得資格。
(2)換專業(yè)，換到了科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)以外的專業(yè)。
4.獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金在被學(xué)校核實(shí)之后變成了需要償還的貸款的情況有如下：
(1)在畢業(yè)之前的任意時(shí)候換了專業(yè)，換到了科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)以外的專業(yè);
(2)畢業(yè)后從事的行業(yè)不屬于得到批準(zhǔn)的科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)行業(yè);
(3)在完成五年的服務(wù)要求之前離開紐約州。
5.如果你在看了上面的信息之后仍然不確定是否想申請(qǐng)這項(xiàng)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，那么你可以到紐約州高等教育服務(wù)公司網(wǎng)站查看獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金詳情，可以聯(lián)系你們學(xué)校的經(jīng)濟(jì)援助辦公室就資格條款進(jìn)行商討。
