Binghamton
Decision sheet

New York · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer

The starting point

SUNY flagship academic public in upstate New York where institutional merit (President's, Provost's, Dean's) is awarded in spring without a separate application and the in-state full cost of attendance lands around $33K — modest merit, low sticker.

Published academic criteria. These awards are recorded as automatic on academic criteria. Match the published grades and scores, then check residency, entering year and every additional condition.

Awards to discuss

The 1 award in this school's research. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

President's, Provost's, and Dean's Scholarships

Amount varies by tier; not publicly published · Variable or qualified amount

Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.

Eligibility: Most scholarships are awarded in the spring for the following aid year and do not require a separate application. The FAFSA is recommended by January 1 because financial need can be an eligibility factor for some institutional scholarships.

Renewal: Renewable annually up to the period listed in the scholarship offer. Recipients must achieve a minimum GPA to renew.

Other terms: Binghamton does NOT publish dollar amounts, GPA cutoffs, or test-score thresholds for these three named tiers on the public scholarship page. Specific criteria appear only in the individual scholarship offer.

Ask before you decide

  1. Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
  2. What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
  3. How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?

The research date is not a guarantee that a policy still applies. Confirm current amounts, deadlines and conditions with the school before making a financial decision.
