tuition

The State University of New York (SUNY) Reconnect program supports free tuition for adults ages 25-55 who want to pursue an associate’s degree and do not already have a degree. Five thousand six hundred students are currently enrolled in the program across the state.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to debut the proposal Tuesday in a speech in Albany during which she will detail her agenda for the state’s ongoing legislative session.

Research shows those borrowers carry $20,000 or less in federal student loan debt – which the Biden administration wants to eliminate.

The western university group also got a brand name this month: Pennsylvania Western University, or Penn West.
