The starting point
SUNY Oneonta awards a small, automatic, no-extra-application merit grid to New York residents — President's $5,000/yr, Dean's $3,000/yr, Provost's $2,000/yr — all renewable for up to four years; there is no published GPA or test-score cutoff and no full-tuition merit award.
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.
