New York Governor Kathy Hochul has enacted legislation that allows free community college for adults aged 25 to 55 in specific high-demand fields such as nursing and technology. The initiative, financed through a $47 million budget allocation, aims to cover tuition, books, and fees at State University of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY). Hochul expressed her desire for every New Yorker to access education that transforms lives, while education leaders emphasized the program's potential for upward mobility and career advancement for adults without degrees.
These vital resources will enable CUNY to offer an affordable, first-class education and a pathway to upward mobility for students now and in the future.
I want every New York student to have that opportunity... now have the chance to pursue a free associate degree at SUNY and CUNY community colleges.
