A community college sponsored by Niagara County
November 4, 2020
Fifty students at SUNY Niagara received SUNY Pathways Scholars Awards as part of the State University of New York (SUNY) initiative to assist high-performing students committed to completing their associate’s degree within two years and bachelor’s degree within four years. These students received a $250 stipend in the fall semester and will receive another $250 stipend after completion of the spring semester at SUNY Niagara. Pathways Scholars will receive an additional $1,000 stipend upon completion of their associate’s degree and enrollment in a SUNY bachelor’s degree program.
In addition to the financial assistance received, Pathways Scholars receive academic counseling, career guidance, and a network of support services to keep them on track for success. At SUNY Niagara, students have access to the Office of Career and Transitional Services, which helps them to determine transfer paths for programs on the SUNY transfer path list. SUNY Niagara has established transfer articulation agreements with many colleges within SUNY, including Empire State College, SUNY College at Brockport, SUNY College at Buffalo, SUNY College at Fredonia, SUNY Oneonta, SUNY Cortland, SUNY Cobleskill, the University at Buffalo, and SUNY Upstate Medical University. Students can take advantage of the lowest tuition rates in the region at SUNY Niagara and then seamlessly transfer their credits to other local four-year institutions.
