Alexa Amalbert Receives Merit Scholarship to SUNY Oneonta

2016 Aug 30

Alexa Amalbert of Nanuet, NY, has been selected to receive the Presidential Diversity Scholarship to attend SUNY Oneonta. The college's award of $6,470 annually will help Amalbert to pursue a bachelor's degree beginning in the fall 2016 semester.

Amalbert, a graduate of Nanuet Senior High School, plans to major in Computer Science.

Since 2000, the college and its related College at Oneonta Foundation have more than tripled the number of scholarships available to SUNY Oneonta students, and more than $4 million is awarded each year. Increasing the impact scholarships have in the lives of students was a priority of Possibilities Full of Promise, the 125th Anniversary Campaign for SUNY Oneonta, which concluded June 30, 2015, raising approximately $1 million more than its goal and helping to push the college's endowment over $50 million.
