NY State Math and Science Teaching Incentive Program
Students who are interested should fill out the application by March 15.
This is a new competitive scholarship available Spring 2007. Not everyone who applies will get it even if they've met all the eligibility
requirements.
If the student does not fulfill the terms after graduation, the grant turns into a loan and will have to be paid back.
Payment will not be made until the end of the academic year and only if the student meets the academic criteria:
NOTE: Applicants may attend less than full-time, completing fewer than 27 credit hours, if they are in their last undergraduate term and if fewer than 27 credit hours are necessary to complete their course of study.
