Dean’s Scholarship General Information – Award criteria and amounts are established by the respective Dean’s and
Graduate Program Directors. These awards will be given to new part - or full-time students entering an SBU grad
program in the summer, fall or spring – as funds remain available. This award may not be used for study abroad and
cannot be combined with the Franciscan Mission Grant, the Buffalo Schools Grant, the AmeriCorps Matching Grant or a

Dean’s Scholarship one time – It is not renewable.
