I do not see anything on the NYS STEM website stating that a certain amount of credits is required.
Applicants for the NYS Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Incentive Progam awards must execute a Service Contract in which they:
Agree to work full-time for five years in an approved occupation in the fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics in New York State, while maintaining residency within the State, regardless of the number or amount of award payments.
Agree to repay the amounts disbursed plus interest pursuant to the terms of their Service Contract if they:
fail to complete an approved undergraduate program in science, technology, engineering
or mathematics; or
change majors to a program of undergraduate study other than in science, technology, engineering or mathematics; or
fail to complete five years of continuous full-time employment in an approved STEM occupation with a public or private entity located within New York State upon completion of their undergraduate degree program; or
fail to maintain residency in New York State for such period of employment; or
fail to respond to requests by HESC for the status of their academic or
professional progress; or
breach the terms of the Service Contract.
