About Scholarship
The NYS Scholarships for Academic Excellence will be awarded to students achieving academic excellence while in high school. Scholarships are provided to high-achieving students at registered New York State high schools. Awards are based on student grades on certain Regent's exams. Students are nominated by high schools.

The scholarship may be awarded to students for 2 years for pursuing their associate degree full-time; 4 years for pursuing their bachelor's degree full-time; and 5 years for approved five-year degree programs. Students must be a legal resident of New York State and have resided in New York State for 12 continuous months.
