Erin Nelson Receives SUNY Oswego Scholarship

2012 Jul 19

The State University of New York at Oswego has awarded merit scholarships to more than 600 incoming students, including Erin Nelson of Marietta. She received a $31,960 Residential Scholarship.

The award recognizes past academic achievement and potential for success for students attending Oswego from outside New York state.

Nelson, formerly of Carlton J. Kell High School, has reserved a place at SUNY Oswego for the fall semester. Classes will begin Aug. 27.

SUNY Oswego has awarded more than $3 million in merit scholarship money to students for this year. These funds are in addition to the more than $75 million in need-based grants, loans and work-study awards that Oswego students receive annually.

Admission to SUNY Oswego is competitive. U.S. News named it among the "Top Public Regional Universities in the North" for 2012, the Princeton Review and USA Today named SUNY Oswego to their 2012 list of 150 "best value" colleges and universities in the nation, and the Princeton Review included Oswego in its 2012 college guidebook "The Best Northeastern Colleges."

A 151-year-old comprehensive college in the State University of New York system, Oswego enrolls more than 8,000 students in its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; School of Business; School of Communication, Media and the Arts; and School of Education.
