To avoid enrollment delays

If you are working with Cornell's Office of Financial Aid on summer and/or winter session funding, please send an email to the SCE Accounting Department at cusceacct@cornell.edu to let us know when you begin and complete that process, and if you have any significant updates in between. It is important for you to keep SCE apprised of the status of your funding to avoid enrollment delays.

Cornell SCE Scholarship for Off-Campus Programs within the U.S.

The School of Continuing Education (SCE) offers a very limited number scholarships, up to $550 each, to eligible Cornell students to help offset tuition. Students must be full-time, matriculated Cornell undergraduates in good academic standing; must demonstrate need consistent with Cornell’s financial aid policies; and must be approved to enroll in an off-campus program in the U.S. by the faculty director leading the program. To apply, please complete and submit the SCE Scholarship Application (PDF) and a copy of your transcript to cusp@cornell.edu by April 12, 2024.
