With few exceptions, the Brockport Foundation Scholarship Office applies all awards through Student Accounts, divided equally between the fall and spring semesters. The Scholarship Office is willing to work one-on-one with students to apply the award to one semester, depending on the scholarship agreement and the reason for the request. For example, a student graduating in December may request that their award be paid completely in the fall semester.
Scholarship funds are typically applied directly to a student’s account—unless the donor requests that the award be issued as a check. If an award recipient receives a check for $600 or more, they will be provided IRS Form 1099-MISC and may be subject to reporting the scholarship(s) as miscellaneous income on their tax return(s).
Unless a scholarship specifically states otherwise, awards for the next academic year cannot be used during the summer term. Brockport Foundation scholarships are announced in the spring and disbursed during the following academic year.
Student applicants should have at least one, preferably two, semesters of study remaining at SUNY Brockport when they receive their scholarship.
