| 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.

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:
