SUNY Korea Scholarships

SUNY Korea Scholarships is committed to recognizing and rewarding our students' excellence in all areas of learning and research. We offer a variety of scholarships to new and continuing students, some of which are based on merit alone and others which take into account special talents, leadership and community service or financial need.
Because student financial need is sometimes an eligibility requirement or consideration, we encourage you to submit the Free Application for Federal

Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible, in January of the year preceding your fall enrollment. Offered scholarships will be part of the complete financial aid award package, which cannot exceed the budgeted cost of attendance. Scholarships can be applied to any of the costs associated with a student's Stony Brook education and need not be used for tuition only.

Merit-Based Scholarships

SUNY Korea offers a range of merit-based scholarships designed to recognize and reward outstanding academic achievement. These scholarships provide financial support to ease tuition and related expenses, helping students focus on their educational goals.

Transfer Scholarship

Transfer students may be eligible for specific scholarships designed for those transferring into SUNY Korea. These scholarships are awarded based on academic performance at the previous institution and range from $1,000 to $10,000.

Global Talent Scholarships

History Makers Scholarship

The History Makers Scholarship is a special recognition for students who have shown outstanding leadership and made significant contributions to the SUNY Korea SBU/FIT community through non-academic activities. This scholarship is designed to honor students who have demonstrated a positive impact beyond their academic achievements, particularly in areas such as student organizations, volunteer work, or community service.

External Awards

Financial aid provides students with financial assistance to support their education through funding option. Aid is typically awarded based on financial need, academic merit, or specific criteria set by the Scholarship Committee. The primary goal of financial aid is to make higher education more accessible and affordable, helping students cover tuition, fees, and living expenses.
