Canisius to Launch Full-Tuition Scholarship for Students in '142' ZIP Codes

In a move to deepen efforts to make a Canisius University education affordable to all students in its Buffalo community, Canisius is launching a four-year, full-tuition scholarship available to any qualifying student whose home ZIP code starts with “142,” Canisius President Steve Stoute said. Stoute told The Buffalo News he plans to announce the new Buffalo Promise Scholarship on Thursday at a gathering of Western New York legislators, officials and community leaders. The new scholarship beginning in fall 2025 will be a “last dollar in” award that will cover 100% of tuition costs after federal and state aid are applied, Stoute said.
