The 2025 Forever Orange Scholarship provides half of the tuition for students who enroll full-time in a qualifying graduate degree or certificate program at Syracuse University. The scholarship is automatically available to all Class of 2025 graduating Syracuse University seniors who are eligible for admission—no separate scholarship application is needed. Graduating seniors who have already been admitted to a qualifying graduate program are also eligible.
The scholarship cannot be combined with any other program-granted graduate funding awards, such as assistantships, fellowships or other scholarships, nor can it be deferred to future terms. The scholarship is only for those programs on the List of Qualifying Programs by School and College.
As a member of the Class of 2025, you are eligible for the 2025 Forever Orange Scholarship if:
You officially complete your undergraduate degree in Fall 2024, Spring 2025 or Summer 2025
You are admitted to study full time in a qualifying graduate program (see list of qualifying programs below) and begin the program no later than the start of the 2025-26 academic year.
Note: Deferring to a future semester beyond fall 2025 is not permitted. Also, you must maintain full-time continuous enrollment status throughout the duration of the program.
There are a wide variety of programs from which to choose. Our graduate staff and faculty are available to address your questions and guide you through the application process. We also encourage you to consult with the career advising staff in your college for additional guidance and assistance.
The comprehensive list of eligible programs for the 2025 Forever Orange Scholarship includes links to program overviews, allowing you to become familiar with the nature of the program, the curriculum, and admissions requirements. The Scholarship only applies to residential programs unless otherwise noted. Application fees for graduate programs are waived for all Syracuse University students. Applying to a graduate program can be done entirely online—apply now.
Once admitted to a graduate program and upon officially completing your undergraduate degree, you may enroll in the first term of entry available in 2025.
