The Haudenosaunee Promise scholarship program brings the rich educational experiences of Syracuse University to Native American students. These scholarships are reserved for admitted, qualified, first-year and transfer students studying part-time at University College. They were established to recognize the University’s gratitude and appreciation for the historical, political, and cultural legacies of the Haudenosaunee, and to honor the bond that has developed between the University and the Haudenosaunee.
