GDF Application

The Graduate Diversity Fellowship funds graduate-level study for U.S. citizens (or permanent resident aliens) who will contribute to the diversity of the SUNY Cortland campus. Financial assistance from the fellowship program provides students with tuition and stipend support. Yearly awards may vary.

Diversity Fellowships are in the form of financial support and carry no work requirement for the recipient. Fellowships are renewable if funding is available and if the recipient maintains a minimum 3.0 cumulative graduate grade point average. Award amounts may vary each year. Typically, awards are announced in late spring for the following academic year (fall-spring). If any funds remain after the academic year awards have been allocated, applications for spring and/or summer fellowships will be considered.

GOP Application

Graduate Opportunity Program awards provide tuition support to matriculated graduate students who were former Educational Opportunity (EOP) program, Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP), or SEEK (Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge) program students as undergraduates.
