Scholarship Information and Application 2010-2011
The scholarship program at the College of Staten Island recognizes
academic excellence and college or community service.
In addition to scholarships offered directly by the College, the
CSI Foundation, and departments and associations of the College,
memorial scholarships have been endowed through the generosity
of many individuals and organizations who value higher education.
Scholarships support, in varying ways, the education of the men
and women of our community.

recommendation forms in pdf format; one must be

is familiar with you from a job, volunteer assignment, or community
project you have undertaken. Recommendations from family members
will not be accepted.
Volunteer and community service can be supported by an
attached certificate and/or a letter from the volunteer or community
service coordinator on official stationery.

requested by the Scholarship Office.
For further information, contact the Career and Scholarship Center
at 1.718.982.2300.
How Am I Evaluated?
Completed applications will be reviewed and evaluated by the Faculty
Scholarship Committee. Applications will be scored on the quality
of the essay, the two letters of recommendation, and documented
community or college service. A student’s scored application
and GPA determine the ranking, which then determines whether
a student will receive a scholarship award. Competition for scholarships
varies from year to year based on the number of applicants and
is always rigorous.
How Will I Be Notified?
Applicants will receive a scholarship award or non-award letter
from the Scholarship Committee. Scholarship recipients will have
the opportunity to meet the donors of the awards at a formal
ceremony.
What if I Want to Study Abroad?
Scholarships and awards for study abroad are available through
the Center for International Service. CSI students are also eligible
for STOCS (Study/Travel Opportunities for CUNY Students) grants,
a CUNY program promoting short-term (summer or January term)
study abroad. The College Consortium also offers scholarships
for International Studies. Both types of awards must be used
for participation in specially designated programs. Students
interested in study abroad programs should contact the Center
for International Service directly at the
following address:
