Prachi Mulmi Receives Merit Scholarship to Attend SUNY Oneonta

2017 Aug 16

Prachi Mulmi of Lalitpur, Nepal, has been selected to receive the New York State Advantage Award to attend SUNY Oneonta. The college's award of $8,000 annually will help Mulmi to pursue a bachelor's degree beginning in the fall 2017 semester.

Mulmi, one of 11 new international students selected to receive scholarships, plans to major in Communication Studies.

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 the 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.
