Ithaca College MLK Scholar Program

Ithaca College MLK Scholar Program

The program is offered to academically exceptional students from traditionally underrepresented populations who have demonstrated strong character and leadership through service and community involvement. Scholars receive a minimum award of $25,000 and in some cases up to full tuition annually in both merit-based and need-based aid.

To apply: Visit http://www.ithaca.edu/mlk/
Columbia University (HEOP) or (NOP)

Students who are eligible are encouraged to visit www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/asp/programs/

Students who are part of Columbia HEOP get the benefits of full need-based financial aid, participate in a Summer Bridge Program, and get one-on-one individual tutoring with an advisor, and many more great opportunities. There is no separate application; candidates are automatically considered during the admission review process.

  Scams: “Phishing” & “Pharming”
  
  • 
    “Phishing”=Unsolicited emails that bear the logo of your bank or credit card. Appear legitimate but are traps to lure you into giving out your personal or account information.
    
  • 
    “Pharming”=Unsolicited emails that encourage you to visit a website or click on suspicious links. Make sure your inbox spam filters are up to date.
