Pending the appropriation of State funds during the yearly session of the New York State legislature, at least 80 awards up to $10,000 per year for two years are offered. Award amount is based on undergraduate and medical school student loan amounts, loan interest expense, and income.
Applications and information are available from the Office of K-16 Initiatives and Access Programs, Scholarships and Grants Administration Unit by February of the competition year.
