Underrepresented racial and ethnic groups are historically scarce in the mental health workforce. This under-representation is one of the key drivers of mental health disparities among marginalized populations. Providers from under-represented groups are more likely to have the experience and cultural competence necessary to understand and effectively meet the needs of these underserved populations. A diverse workforce has proven to result in greater patient/client satisfaction, engagement, and retention in care. To address this diversity issue, the Office of Mental Health, in partnership with the SUNY Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and SUNY schools, have created the SUNY/OMH Mental Health Scholarship Program for Underrepresented and/or Multilingual Students, a seamless pipeline that will attract, retain, and graduate underrepresented students, and students that are multilingual, in the various mental health professions.

Components of the program include:

• Scholarships
• Paid Internships
• Professional/Career Development Workshops
• Advising and Mentoring
• Fee waivers for students applying to professional programs

This scholarship is a $10,000 tuition waiver designed to recognize the exceptional talent of an incoming MFA student in Ceramics. It is available to one student on a competitive basis each year.

This $2000 award given to an entering MFA Art Studio Student with a preference in Printmaking.  Recipients of the scholarship will be selected by Graduate Art Program faculty, consisting of the Printmaking area head and the MFA coordinator.  Students will be selected based upon merit as seen through the candidate's MFA application and portfolio.  Financial need will guide the selection and preference would be given to a candidate from an under served community.  

In an effort to encourage a diverse population of graduate students, SUNY New Paltz offers a one-year out-of-state tuition waiver to all incoming MFA students who are not residents of New York State.  This allows non-resident students to pay regular in-state tuition rates, saving approximately $9,800 a year.  MFA students must seek and be granted New York State residency during their first year to continue to receive the in-state tuition rate.  This program is available to international students who are not US citizens and enrolled in one of our MFA programs.  These students may receive the MFA Scholarship rate for two years without applying for New York State residency. See Tuition & Fees Chart for rate.
