SUNY Oswego has made merit awards to a select group of area students among the more than 675 transfer students who are starting at the college this fall.

The Transfer Merit Award is $1,000 and the Transfer Achievement Award is $2,000; for deserving non-New York state students, the total award can be as much as $36,000 or $37,000, respectively, in combination with a Destination Oswego scholarship.
