The 2026 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 2026 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 2026, you are eligible for the 2026 Forever Orange Scholarship if:
You graduate in December 2025 or have submitted a Diploma Request for May, June, or August 2026;
You officially complete your undergraduate degree in December 2025, May 2026 or August 2026, prior to starting coursework for a graduate program;
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 2026-26 academic year.
Note: Deferring to a future semester beyond fall 2026 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.
