Sunstone Foundation Scholarships

Investing in Tomorrow’s Business Leaders

The Sunstone Scholarship at SUNY Oswego’s School of Business supports first-generation and underrepresented students pursuing their dreams in business.

About the Scholarship

Sunstone believes talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. This scholarship invests in SUNY Oswego business students who are building that opportunity through hard work, curiosity, and service. We prioritize first-generation and underrepresented students who have clear goals and a record of follow-through.

Support from this fund helps scholars lean into internships, research, and leadership roles that shape long-term success. Awards are selected with the School of Business based on academic strength, financial need, leadership, and contribution to campus or community.

Eligibility & Criteria

  • First Generation Student

    For first-generation college students or come from underrepresented backgrounds

  • Financial Need

    Face financial barriers that could limit their academic or professional growth

  • Academic Strength

    Carry a strong GPA and progressing toward a business degree

The Sunstone Scholarship is more than financial aid…it’s an investment in potential. By reducing financial pressure, scholars can pursue internships, join student organizations, and build the skills that prepare them for meaningful careers in business.

Our vision is for recipients to graduate not only with degrees, but with the confidence, experience, and character to lead in their communities and workplaces.
