Where Syracuse University lists its scholarships

Syracuse University Scholarships (AcademicWorks/Blackbaud) — a central portal listing university-managed endowed scholarship funds (e.g. Marjorie J. Thompson '74 Endowed Scholarship, Michael Blackshear Scholarship Income Fund); the department-specific awards captured below (Maxwell, Falk, ECS, Newhouse) are administered directly by their colleges via their own pages/forms, not through this portal.

Where this came from

Every amount on this page was read off a Syracuse University page on the date shown. Schools change award tables, so check the school's page before you count on a number.
