Financial Aid
All students who are granted an appeal are
automatically placed on financial aid probation. The
waiver is is for one semester only. All students on
probation will be re-evaluated when grades for the
following semester are submitted to the Registrar’s
Office. Students who do not adhere to their Appeal
Agreement will loose their financial aid the following
semester.
We encourage students who are denied an exception
or students who choose not to submit an appeal by
the review date to enroll without receiving the benefit
of financial aid because these students can have their
appeal application reviewed again at their request.
■ Local College Work-Study (LCWS)
College funds are also available for students who do
not meet the federal work study eligibility requirements.
The pay rate is $8 per hour (subject to change). All
students awarded work-study are placed in the job by
the College's Office of Career and Internship Services.
FAFSA is required.
■ Scholarships and Awards
Through the efforts of its SUNY Orange
Foundation, Orange County Community College
offers a variety of scholarships, grants-in-aid and
awards that have been established for entering,
returning, and graduating students.. See the
accompanying grid for a complete listing of
scholarships, grants and awards.
Scholarships are awarded annually by the
Scholarship and Awards Committee (except where
noted). Recipients of these scholarships are selected
based upon donor criteria which could include:
demonstrated financial need, academic achievement,
faculty recommendations and the availability of
scholarship funds.
Scholarship forms are available after Jan. 15 from
the College website or the Financial Aid Office.
Applicants are encouraged to apply for scholarships
online at www.sunyorange.edu/scholarships.
A student needs only to file one application for a
given category of scholarship (one application will
submit the student’s name for consideration for all of
the entering scholarships). Students awarded
scholarships based upon recommendations of faculty
departments and/or by the Committee on Scholarship
and Financial Assistance will be notified in early May.
These students will be recognized at either the
College’s Spring (for graduating students) or Fall (for
entering and returning students) Scholarship and
Awards Ceremony.
