The Honors College manages a database of external scholarships, fellowships, and grant opportunities for which SUNY Brockport students can apply. We encourage students carefully to review these resources to identify opportunities that can financially support or otherwise enrich their academic experiences at Brockport and beyond.
The Honors College is here to help all Brockport students understand the application processes, as well as to assist in preparing and submitting applications. (For a few external scholarships, students are actually prohibited from submitting applications without first going through an internal review/nomination process that the Honors College manages.) If you’re interested in a particular scholarship, please contact Dr. Melanie Perreault, Associate Director of the Honors College, or Dr. Austin Busch, Director of the Honors College, for further information and assistance.
