The starting point
Lehman is a low-cost CUNY senior college (NY-resident tuition ~$7,000/yr) where merit aid is modest and automatic: entering freshmen are evaluated for an unpublished-amount Academic Scholarship with no separate application, and the largest named award is the $5,000 Lehman Scholars Program honors scholarship.
More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.
