Kyncl Scholarship
About the Kyncl Scholarship
The Robert Kyncl ’95 and Luz Avila Kyncl ’96 STEM Scholarship Fund was established in 2018 to offset tuition costs for underrepresented students entering New Paltz who wish to study computer science or engineering. All prospective New Paltz students in computer science and engineering are welcome to apply. First priority will be given to students from groups underrepresented in computer science and engineering and to transfer students from regional community colleges.
