Adelphi-Supported Awards
Be sure to refer to the specific terms and conditions for each award.
Eligible students are automatically considered for most Adelphi scholarships upon acceptance.
Our grants are awarded to students on the basis of financial need as determined by filing the FAFSA® and other defined criteria. Except where noted, no additional application is required.
There are numerous federal and state grants available to students. To be considered for them, you must first complete the FAFSA®. New York State scholarships and grants are open to residents, who must take additional steps to apply.
Adelphi offers a range of merit scholarships for incoming first-year students who made outstanding academic achievements in high school. These include the Levermore Global Scholars Award for students accepted into the Levermore Global Scholars Program.
