The Division of Economics and Business has three endowed scholarship funds dedicated to majors in Accounting, Business Economics or Economics. They are the Economics and Business Division Endowed Scholarship Fund and the Dr. Ignatius J. H. Ts'ao Scholarship. Economics majors are eligible for the Steven Edelstein Scholarship in Honor of Dr. Foster Brown.  Eligibility for awards from these endowed scholarships is based upon academic achievement at the College at Oneonta, measured in terms of overall grade point average and grade point average in a major offered by the Division of Economics and Business.      

 Emeritus Professor Grace Ts'ao receives a check from Assistant Dean Wade Thomas in March 2003, reflecting donations by faculty and friends to the Dr. Ignatius J. H. Ts'ao Scholarship Fund for Economics and Business students.

There is no application process for these scholarships. Eligibility for an award is determined by grade point average and a minimum number of earned semester hours.

Awards are contingent upon enrollment at Oneonta in a Division Of Economics and Business major. Awards are renewable based upon continued enrollment and sustained academic performance.

Every qualified transfer applicant is considered for a scholarship. The only application needed to apply for a scholarship is the application for admission, and, in the case of financial need as a criterion, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). There is not a separate application to apply for scholarships.
