Recipients are not required to demonstrate financial need. However, to determine eligibility for  other state and federal financial aid, all recipients are asked to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Participants must be:

(a) U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens and

(b) New York State residents, who will make a contribution to the diversity of the student body in their program or school, primarily by demonstrating that they have overcome a disadvantage or other impediment to success in higher education.

Even though financial need is not a requirement for program eligibility, applicants may utilize economic disadvantage as a basis for eligibility. Membership in a racial/ethnic group that is underrepresented in the program or school for which the student is applying may serve as a plus factor in making awards, but may not form the sole basis of such an award and every student applicant shall be evaluated on his or her own merits.
