Talent Awards

    At Elmira College, we celebrate students and all of the unique talents that make our campus such a diverse place to live, learn, and grow. In fact, we offer many scholarship opportunities that aren't tied to need or academic achievement, but instead based on your TALENT. See below for our various talent-based award opportunities and check back often as we add more opportunities for our students to share their talent with our campus and community.
