The starting point
Long Island flagship of the SUNY system with a no-published-amount Presidential merit ladder and a real flagship: the Simons STEM Scholars Program, a four-year full-cost-of-education scholarship for students entering STEM majors.
Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.

Presidential Scholarship

Other terms: Stony Brook does not publish a stat-to-dollar tier. Modeling the Presidential at a specific amount from forum sources is unreliable.
