Kingsborough Honors Program

Students interested in scholarship opportunities should first visit the Office of Career Development, Transfer, and Scholarship Opportunities in C102 or call (718) 368-5115. The Office's website has updated information on scholarship opportunities and the counselors in that office can assist students with the application process.

The Honors Program provides additional support to Honor students and Phi Theta Kappa members who are interested in applying for scholarships, especially transfer scholarships. Honor students should visit the Honors House in M377 for assistance.

Listed below are some of the scholarships, internal and external, available to entering, current, and graduating students.

Students who have been on the Dean's List two consecutive semesters and enroll for the third semester are eligible for the Dean's List Scholarship. They will be notified by the Associate Provost office in M386.

Wave & Vallone Scholarships

Students interested in the Wave and/or Vallone scholarships should contact Mr. Wayne Harewood, Director of Financial Aid, at (718) 368-4644 or visit U-201.

CUNY Office of Academic Affairs maintains The Prestigious Scholarships website which lists some of the best scholarships available to undergraduate students. Honor students should visit the website to learn about the eligibility for each scholarship, the application process, and the deadlines.

The Kaplan Leadership Associate's Degree Scholarship offers financial and academic support, including individualized academic advising, transfer counseling, college tours, mentoring opportunities, leadership training and development to high potential associate degree students with unmet financial need who are also members of underrepresented populations in higher education. Scholarships for associate's degree candidates can be up to $3,000.00 and for bachelor degree candidates up to $25,000.00 per year plus additional funding to assist with living expenses.

Annual awards are given to graduating students who achieve academic excellence in their various disciplines, and to students who give outstanding service to the college through student government and other student activities. The Faculty Committee on Awards administers the annual Awards Program. The Awards Ceremony is part of the two-day Commencement Exercises at Kingsborough and is usually held the evening before the Commencement Day in June. Families and friends of the awardees are invited to the annual Awards Ceremony to share in the celebration of the students' success.

The Faculty Committee on Awards, chaired by the Associate Provost, also selects the Valedictorian. All students who have achieved a GPA of 4.00 and have no more than 12 transfer credits to Kingsborough are invited to audition for the Valedictorian speech.

Awards are determined by departmental or college scholarship committee. Application deadlines will be announced for awards that are competitive.
