Cornell Programs

Academic Scholarships are awarded to the most academically prepared first-year students as measured by academic standards, leadership, and community service. The awards are automatically renewed for three years if the recipient maintains a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Cornell's academic scholarships include: William Fletcher King, Presidential, Distinguished Honor, Honor, Natural and Physical Science, Pacesetter and Community College.

Fine Arts Scholarships are awarded to students displaying superb talent and potential in the arts. Selection of art scholars is based upon a review of an art portfolio. The selection of music scholars is based upon auditions held on campus. Acceptance and renewal of the Horace Alden Miller Scholarship or the Dungan Music Scholarship requires that each semester the recipient take music lessons and participate in at least one ensemble. Cornell's fine art scholarships include: George E. Buzza, Cornell Art, E.E. Dungan Music, Horace Alden Miller Music, and Music Recognition Award Scholarships.

Ministerial Awards are available to children of ordained clergy, regardless of denomination, whose chief employment is in a parish ministry or ministries directly supported by the church. Awards are based upon the financial need of the student as determined by the federal needs analysis system and institutional policies.

Cornell Grants/Endowed Scholarships are funds made available by the College and are based on the financial need of the student. Grant amounts may vary each year depending upon financial need.

Institutional Work Study provides on-campus employment opportunities for students who do not demonstrate financial need.

McElroy & Sherman Loans are long-term, low interest loans awarded through a trust fund established with Cornell. Repayment begins six months after graduation, withdrawal, or a drop to less than half-time enrollment.

Associated Colleges of the Midwest, National Tuition Exchange, and Faculty/Staff Tuition Scholarships provide up to full-tuition for students whose parent(s) is employed at a participating college. Please contact the Tuition Remission Officer for additional information.
