A brief description of the institution's scholarships for low-income students:
ESF’s Financial Aid Philosophy: “Financial aid at SUNY-ESF is intended to assist students with education and essential cost-of-living expenses. Funds are awarded primarily on the basis of financial need and are coordinated to supplement parental support, student employment earnings, savings, and assistance from other sources. Some scholarships and fellowships are awarded based on additional criteria, such as academic achievement or minority student status. Graduate student assistantships, tuition scholarships, and fellowships are not based on financial need.”
