The average SAT score for incoming freshmen to SUNY Potsdam increased a phenomenal 29 points in one year. The College also increased its enrollment by approximately 100 students in the past year. The Potsdam student body profile includes students from less than privileged backgrounds.
Many students are first-generation college students from families with limited financial resources.
All Potsdam students are eligible for financial assistance , but, increasingly, their needs far exceed our current capacity to provide them with scholarship assistance . More and more, we see deserving students forced to delay or deny their dream of achieving a college education. This experience has made creating permanent funding for scholarships one of our highest priorities. Please e-mail us for further details .
