SUNY Korea CostAid

External awards are scholarships or financial assistance provided by organizations, corporations, or other external entities to support students in their academic endeavors. These awards are typically based on specific criteria such as academic achievement, financial need, or other unique qualifications. For example, some scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate significant improvements in their GPA or academic performance over a certain period. The amount of the award can vary depending on the sponsor and the student's eligibility.

The scholarship is administered internally by the Academic and Faculty Affairs Office during a designated period each semester. Eligible students are selected through this internal review process, and scholarship offer letters are issued only to selected students.

These scholarships are valuable resources that help alleviate the financial burden on students while encouraging academic excellence.
