FOR EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS 

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors from our local community and beyond, the President’s Challenge Scholarship
assists first-generation Ulster County high school students with overcoming financial barriers associated with attending
college. Students are identified in eighth grade by their sponsoring school district and receive mentoring and college
readiness preparation throughout high school. Upon graduation, students are able to attend SUNY Ulster tuition-free
for two years!

Challenge ayuda a los alumnos de primera generación de la escuela secundaria del condado de Ulster a superar las
