Scholarships
The Farmingdale College Foundation, supported by the generosity of alumni, donors, and friends, proudly provides scholarships to incoming first-year and transfer students.
Scholarships are awarded annually and are based on a variety of factors, including financial need, academic merit, donor preferences, and academic major.
All newly accepted students who wish to be considered for a Farmingdale College Foundation Scholarship must complete the following steps:
- Complete the Scholarship Survey available in the Accepted Student Portal by February 15 for priority consideration. The Scholarship Committee will start to review applications and award scholarships to eligible students after this date.
- Preferred deadline to submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for scholarship consideration is March 1.
All scholarship recipients must remain in good academic standing at Farmingdale State College. Recipients will be notified of their awards by mail and must accept by the deadline in the award letters.
Please note: Students already receiving full scholarship or grant funding for room, board, tuition & fees are not eligible for additional Foundation scholarships.
For more information, please contact Babette Lasky, Associate Director of Scholarships and Donor Stewardship.
