At Cornell’s Precollege Studies, we’re committed to expanding college access by providing financial assistance to talented first-generation and/or low-income high school students.

Currently, we offer aid to

  • Students affiliated with select community-based organizations (CBOs) that focus on college preparation and have established partnerships with Precollege Studies
  • Students attending the following New York State (NYS) public schools that partner with Precollege Studies (students applying for this funding must have SAT fee-waiver eligibility or be projected to be first-generation college students when enrolling in college):
    • Candor High School
    • Charles O. Dickerson High School (Trumansburg)
    • Dryden High School
    • Elmira High School
    • Groton High School
    • The Marble Hill School for International Studies (the Bronx)
    • Newfield High School
    • South Seneca High School
    • Spencer–Van Etten High School
    • Whitney Point High School
    If you attend one of these schools, contact your school guidance counselor for more information and instructions about how to apply for this funding.

This work is part of SCE’s mission to provide "educational opportunities that transform lives, advance careers, and positively impact communities around the world."
