Ithaca stacks an automatic, unpublished-amount Ithaca College Scholarship with named scholar programs (Presidential full tuition+fees, Park, MLK, Leadership, Innovation), small residency awards, and a $2,000/yr on-campus housing scholarship — but the Presidential award replaces, not adds to, other Ithaca merit.
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.
First 3 of 11 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

Recorded stacking policy: The Presidential Scholarship cannot be combined with a scholar program and replaces any previously awarded Ithaca College Scholarship.
