Herkimer County College Foundation Tuition Scholarship Program

This scholarship program supports high-achieving high school graduates who either reside in Herkimer County or graduated from a high school within the county as they pursue an associate degree. Recipients must enroll full-time at the college starting in the semester immediately following their high school graduation. The award covers a significant portion of resident tuition costs for up to four consecutive semesters, minus any federal, state, or other tuition-specific financial aid. To keep the award active, students must maintain a solid academic average each semester and complete a minimum number of credits. If a student falls below the academic requirements, they have opportunities to reinstate their eligibility in subsequent terms by raising their grade point average.

The award is renewable. Eligibility on record: open to high school students and undergraduates (12th grade, college 1st year, and college 2nd year); for residents of New York; minimum GPA 3.0; financial need is considered; usable at a 2-year college or public college. The next deadline on record is June 1, 2027, and the deadline recurs each year. No essay is required.
