The Brockport Foundation offers approximately 350 scholarships. To apply students should go to https://brockport.academicworks.com and complete the required information.

Once students complete the basic information, they will be matched automatically with about 40 percent of the Foundation’s scholarships. The remaining scholarships have additional requirements, such as an additional reference or essay.

Now that it’s August the Brockport Foundation is preparing for the new academic year and the new scholarship season that will begin November 15.

We also want to let you know about another option for scholarships.

Many companies, businesses and organizations not affiliated with Brockport offer scholarships. These awards are based on a variety of factors, including grades, student essays, or area of study. Because these awards are established by different organizations, they have different criteria.

For example, a law firm might offer a scholarship to the student who writes the best essay on the dangers of texting and driving. A manufacturer of outdoor equipment might offer a scholarship to the student majoring in environmental science with the best grade point average. Or, a hair-care products company might offer a scholarship to the student who produces the most creative video on hair styles.

There are several websites that list independent scholarships:
Scholarships.com
College Board.org
Fastweb.com

US News & World Report Student Scholarships

Other scholarship possibilities are available by exploring search engine listings

Brockport Foundation Scholarships accept applications between November 15 and February 15 with the awards made for the next academic year. Outside scholarships have their own deadlines and payment schedules.
