Ithaca offers a number of scholarships that recognize talent and academic ability. All accepted students who have completed the FAFSA are considered for need-based Ithaca Access Grants as well as other loans, grants, and work-study options. Ithaca awards President's, ALANA, Leadership and several school-specific, named scholarships that are merit-based.
