Initiative Title	3. Expand financial support and scholarships opportunities for students
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2011
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Provide all students in program with money to cover costs while attending SUNY Orange. This will increase program enrollment, make recruiting easier, attract higher quality students, and enable them to focus more on academic work instead of on working a job to pay for college. We have reduced the size of the program partially to assist with funding all students with scholarship money. While 100% tuition and fees for all students would be ideal, we also could see 100% for 50% and 50% for the remaining students. Having some moneys specifically used for PA and NJ school graduates could be a strong recruiting point. With financial incentives directly associated with the honors program, community service, attendance of speakers and events, etc. could be required as part of the agreements. This could increase attendance at campus events and conferences as well as remove the one-credit HON 120H course (service learning). Funding for honors students is done at most institutions, and this includes a number of our sister two year schools in NY.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	+ Attracting non traditional students and those from marginalized groups will remain difficult. +Student numbers will remain low with no improvement in the quality of students attending. +We will not service the needs of all of Orange and Pike County students. +Quality students will go elsewhere (as they currently do)--including other community colleges that offer better financial incentives + Students who do come here will continue to focus on working a job, rather than on more fully realizing their academic potential
