New York governor Kathy Hochul announced a plan for tuition-free community college for adults aged 25 to 55 pursuing associate degrees in high-demand fields like nursing and technology.
The initiative aims to cover tuition, fees, and textbooks for students at SUNY and CUNY and may launch as early as this fall.
This proposed program mirrors similar programs in other states, reflecting a growing trend to support midcareer adults seeking skills for high-demand jobs.
Historically, CUNY provided free education for residents until the financial crisis in 1976, marking a significant shift in access to education for New Yorkers.
