Merit
Awards
Lincoln and Therese W. Filene Foundation Scholarship awards
are granted on the basis of a special competition to provide
gifted young musicians the opportunity to further their musical
studies in a liberal-arts setting.
The Porter Presidential Scholarship in Science and Mathematics
is awarded on the basis of superior accomplishment and exceptional
promise in the sciences or mathematics. A faculty committee
determines awardees from the applicant pool each spring.
Together, the Filene and Porter scholarship programs reflect
the special balance between the arts and sciences that is characteristic
of Skidmore's curriculum. For more information about either
of these programs, contact the Office of Admissions.
Loans
In addition to the federal and state loan programs described
at the end of this section, the college participates in another
loan program.
The
Citiassist Loan
This long-term loan allows students to borrow up to the cost
of their education each academic year at market interest rates,
subject to credit qualifications. A parent co-signer may be
required. Payment may be deferred while the student is enrolled,
or the student may begin making payment immediately, extending
up to fifteen years.
Campus
Employment
Initial work placements are in the dining halls, housekeeping,
or other essential services. All work is scheduled to avoid
conflict with the student's academic program and averages nine
to twelve hours a week. Jobs are also available in the surrounding
geographic area. Work opportunities are also available to students
not on financial aid.
