SUNY launches two-week free application period

State University of New York Chancellor John B. King Jr. announced the waiving of application fees for all SUNY colleges and universities, from Oct. 16 to Oct. 29.

With this waiver, prospective students can apply to up to five campuses free of charge. SUNY said this will result in potential savings of up to $250 per applicant.

“There is a place at SUNY for every New Yorker, and College Application Month is the perfect opportunity for high school seniors to find their perfect SUNY match,” said King. “By waiving the application fee for two weeks, SUNY is sending a message to all prospective students that you belong here.”

SUNY also offers ongoing fee waivers that apply to 60% of all high school seniors – students in foster care, with military connections, students from low-income backgrounds, and students at more than 500 designated high schools can apply at up to seven SUNY campuses for free, saving up to $350, throughout the year.
