ACE at this campus is for students completing a bachelor's degree within four years (first-year students) or two years (transfers). The campus is accepting transfer and first-year applicants for Spring 2026 and Fall 2026.
Cost of attendance award up to $550 per year, for students in receipt of at least $1 in federal or NYS grant aid, applied toward non-tuition costs. Textbook assistance up to $150 per semester. Monthly monetary awards up to $200 per semester, usable toward transportation, groceries and similar costs. Also provides a personal success team — a dedicated ACE advisor, a faculty advisor and a career specialist — plus career counseling and graduate school preparation.
Participates in EOP
An opportunity program — it combines admission through the program itself with advising, tutoring and money for college costs — for bachelor's-degree students. It is support layered on top of your Pell, TAP or Excelsior aid, not a tuition waiver.
This campus publishes the kinds of support it offers but not the dollar amounts. Ask the campus EOP team for the current figures.
Places are limited, so meeting the requirements does not guarantee a spot.
Be a New York State resident for the 12 months before enrolling. Require alternate admissions consideration — EOP is for students who show promise but may not otherwise be offered admission. Qualify as economically disadvantaged: household income must not exceed a limit set annually by household size, unless your circumstances meet a published exception (the family receives Family Assistance, Safety Net or Family Day Care payments; the student is in foster care; or the student is a ward of the court or county). Open to first-time, full-time, matriculated students. A transfer student must have been enrolled in EOP, College Discovery, SEEK, HEOP or a similar program at their previous college. Admission is subject to program capacity, and priority goes to applicants from historically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Provides personal counseling, academic advisement, tutoring, skill development workshops, supplemental instruction and mentoring, plus modest financial aid toward non-tuition costs such as books and supplies. SUNY publishes no per-campus dollar amounts. Applicants may qualify for application fee waivers on their first seven campus choices. Students found ineligible for EOP may still qualify for admission and financial aid through the ordinary processes.
