The State University of New York (SUNY) System made a commitment to embracing Dreamers and removing barriers to higher education. In keeping with the spirit of inclusion and the principle of access to higher education, SUNYFAP created the first annual SUNYFAP Aspirations Scholarship in 2018.
Please share with any colleague or campus offices that may be working with eligible students as we often don’t see these students in the Financial Aid Office!
