Each year the University at Buffalo is invited to nominate one student for the SUNY ACT for Excellence and Student Initiative Scholarship awarded by the Association of Council Members and College Trustees Scholarship. This award recognizes students for excellence in their academic performance and extraordinary commitment to their campus and/or community.

This program has a mission to provide scholarships and ongoing support to students with financial need who face barriers to participation in education abroad.

This award, funded by the State University of New York (SUNY), provides funding to support University at Buffalo undergraduate and graduate students partaking in unpaid internships with non-profit or government organizations. Internships offer essential hands-on experience and serve as a crucial step toward transitioning from college to a career. The Career Design Center will use this funding to assist students who engage in these internships.

This program recognizes excellence and achievement for students in master’s degree programs in health administration, health policy, and public health by providing up to twenty $10,000 scholarships per year. Winston Scholars also join a one-day symposium on health policy in Washington, DC. 

The GEM fellowship program invests in a competitive American workforce by supporting high-caliber students looking to pursue master's and doctoral degrees in applied sciences and engineering, and matches their specific skills to the technical needs of GEM employer members. Through the fellowship, students receive full financial support and a paid internship. The program has received a Presidential Award for its impact in STEM and has produced over 5,000 leaders in STEM.

An important part of Elliston Institute of Technology's (EIT) mission is to identify students from around the world and train them to be leaders with the skills to invent, improve, and manage the next generation of technology. The Ellison Scholars program will fully fund selected students’ study at the University of Oxford, where they will collaborate with other Scholars and the EIT Faculty of Fellows on projects important to humanity.

The Department of Defense Cyber Service Academy (DoD CSA) is both a scholarship program for the DoD, and a capacity building tool for the nation. The program is a result of commitment from DoD and Congress to support higher education as a means to prepare the DoD workforce to deal with threats against the Department’s critical information system and networks.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) offers Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants (DDRIGs), allowing doctoral students to undertake significant data-gathering projects and conduct field research in settings away from their campus.

The goal of the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is to prepare graduate students for science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission, by providing graduate thesis research opportunities at DOE laboratories.  The SCGSR program provides supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students (US citizens or lawful permanent residents) to pursue part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE laboratory/facility in areas that address scientific challenges central to the Office of Science mission. The research opportunity is expected to advance the graduate students’ overall doctoral thesis while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the DOE laboratories/facilities.
