The State University of New York, the City University of New York, and over 50 private colleges and universities throughout New York State have again come together to offer free application opportunities for high school seniors during New York State College Application Month.
SUNY has waived up to five application fees per student across its 64 colleges and universities through Nov. 3. The City University of New York (CUNY) is waiving application fees for all New York State residents applying as a college freshman from November 4th to November 15th.
“Ensuring that every student has the opportunity to pursue higher education is a top priority for New York State,” Governor Kathy Hochul said. “College Application Month isn’t only about waiving fees — it’s about breaking down financial barriers and opening doors to future opportunities. We’re empowering students across the state to take the first step toward achieving their educational and career goals while removing the financial obstacles that may deter students from pursuing higher education.”
To assist students with their academic goals, the NYS Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) and academic partners will offer over 65 virtual and in-person events. These events aim to support students through their college applications, encourage students to learn more about New York State financial aid, and inform them about their college options. Additional assistance with college applications and information on related events can be found on the Apply to SUNY webpage and CUNY Month webpage.
