Governor Kathy Hochul announced the New York State Opportunity Promise, which aims to provide free community college tuition for adults aged 25 to 55. This effort targets workforce development by addressing skill shortages in high-demand fields such as nursing, technology, and engineering. Eligible students pursuing associate degrees at SUNY and CUNY will have their tuition, fees, and books covered. This initiative is seen as a significant step towards improving economic mobility and filling critical job gaps in the state.
When my dad got a college education, our whole family got a shot at a better life - and I want New Yorkers to have that opportunity.
SUNY's community colleges are incredible engines of upward mobility, and Governor Hochul's Free Community College plan will literally change the lives of New Yorkers seeking a degree in a high-demand field.
