Lisa Morabito and Oksana Vysochanska Receive Chancellor's Undergraduate Scholarships

Join SUNY and MCC in congratulating Lisa Morabito and Oksana Vysochanska!

On May 15, Lisa and Oksana learned they were among the honorees of the Chancellor's Undergraduate Scholarships and Graduate Fellowships for the State of New York. As members of the MCC Class of 2020, Oksana and Lisa will each receive $3,000 to continue their education at a SUNY college or university. This prestigious honor has been given to 100 students who exemplify SUNY's motto: "To Learn, To Search, To Serve."

"We are immensely proud to recognize these exceptional students from across SUNY who have worked tirelessly to excel in their fields of study," said SUNY Chancellor Kristina M. Johnson. "Their recognition today as the winners of the Chancellor's Graduate Scholarship Award will no doubt inspire countless other students to pursue their educational path at SUNY, and in turn we will continue to provide access and opportunities to invest in tomorrow's innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders."

The program was announced in January 2020 during Chancellor Johnson's third State of the University System address. Grants are funded through prior New York State investment in higher education to SUNY.

Eligible students are those who maintained a GPA of 3.3 or higher, who are either graduates of SUNY's community colleges who choose to pursue a bachelor's degree at a SUNY college or university, or students graduating with a bachelor's degree who will stay with SUNY to receive a graduate degree.

The Chancellor's Undergraduate Scholarships and Graduate Fellowships will support up to two students from each nominating campus. Awards will be made as grants to the students to be used to defray room, board, books, technology, childcare, or other eligible costs of attendance.
