Info For
The Elmira College Key Award, sponsored by the Elmira College Alumni Association, has been awarded to students since 1935.
An award of merit, the Key Award is presented to outstanding students in their junior year of high school or preparatory school.
The Key Award winner receives an $88,000 scholarship over a four-year period, $22,000 per year, upon enrolling at Elmira College. If a Key Award winner is eligible for a merit scholarship of a greater value at the time of admission to Elmira College, that scholarship supersedes the Elmira College Key Award. The student will still be recognized as a Key Award winner at Elmira College. Recipients attending Elmira are also honored in the Fall of their freshman year by the Alumni Association and are presented with the prestigious Elmira College Key.
We seek nominations from those who know their students best and receive several hundred nominations each year from each recipient's guidance counselor.
Selection criteria: Each student you nominate should have a minimum academic grade point average of 3.0 (4.0 scale), demonstrate outstanding school and community leadership, and have an interest in an academic program offered by Elmira College.
The nomination form goes live at the end of January each year.
