The scholarship program at the College of Staten Island recognizes academic excellence. In addition to scholarships offered directly by the College, the CSI Foundation, and departments and associations of the College, memorial scholarships have been endowed through the generosity of many individuals and organizations who value higher education. Scholarships support, in varying ways, the education of the men and women of our community. General Standards Scholarship awards generally require a minimum grade point average of 3.5. Financial need is required only when indicated.
Some scholarships are also available for graduate students.
In most instances, scholarship awards do not affect TAP awards. New York State TAP regulations require that tuition-based scholarships be used as a resource in determining eligibility for a TAP award. Because most of the awards offered by CSI are not designated as tuition scholarships, they need not be reported to TAP and do not affect TAP awards. Students who wish additional information on the relationship between these awards and financial aid should be in touch with the Office of Student Financial Assistance. How to Apply Scholarship applicants must be current students at the College of Staten Island or must have applied for admission.
