University Scholarships
Remembrance Scholarships
In December 1988, the Syracuse University community suffered a tragic loss when 35 of its undergraduate students perished in a terrorist bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland. Each year, these students are memorialized through the selection of 35 Remembrance Scholars. Selected in a University-wide competition, scholars represent the best and brightest of Syracuse University with outstanding accomplishments in scholarship, service, leadership activities, and citizenship. CEE students have often been awarded these prestigious scholarships.
Outside Scholarships
