Coronat Scholarship Facts and Requirements

As a Coronat Scholar, you will receive:

  • full tuition for four years of undergraduate study, or for five years of undergraduate study if you enroll in an approved five-year program
  • additional financial aid to meet your demonstrated financial need that exceeds the cost of tuition; this benefit is available only to students who are eligible for federal financial aid and have completed both the FAFSA and CSS Profile
  • full funding (tuition, room and board, and funds for airfare and expenses) for one Syracuse Abroad international study opportunity, either short-term, summer or semester
  • funding for one summer of approved study, research or volunteer work (awarded on a competitive basis)
  • automatic admission to the Renée Crown University Honors program
  • mentoring for prominent national awards and scholarships including the Marshall Scholarship, Truman Scholarship, Fulbright Program and others

As a Coronat Scholar, we expect that you will:

  • maintain full-time enrollment status
  • major in an A&S | Maxwell program and maintain A&S | Maxwell as your home college;
    • students with an integrated learning major must select a base major from A&S | Maxwell so that A&S | Maxwell remains their home college; enrolling in a dual or combined major is allowable, as long as the home college remains A&S | Maxwell;
  • maintain a grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 or higher on a 4-point scale
  • study abroad through a semester-long, summer, or short-term program
  • play a leadership role in the intellectual life of the University
