Elmira College boasts of having the longest-running Honor Scholarship program in the nation and two of this year's winners are from Genesee County.

Amy Schmidt, of Batavia, has received the Presidential Scholarship.

Jessica Pcionek, of Oakfield, has been awarded the Salutatorian Scholarship.

Elmira College awards in excess of $14.5 million in Honor Scholarships each year. Scholarships are awarded regardless of financial need and are renewable based on full-time status and continuous enrollment for three additional years with the appropriate grade-point average.

All applicants for admission who are accepted are then automatically reviewed for Elmira College Honor Scholarships and are awarded the highest scholarship for which they qualify.

Money magazine has named Elmira College in the Top 10 Colleges in the Nation for Academic Scholarships. U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Colleges" edition has named the College a "Great College, Great Prices" institution.

Elmira College, located in the Finger Lakes Region of beautiful, historic upstate New York, is one of the great small colleges of the nation. To learn more about what Elmira College has to offer, navigate to www.elmira.edu or call 800-935-6472 to schedule your visit to Elmira College.
