With the new military tuition rate, SUNY is removing barriers and making sure cost is never what stands between servicemembers and their education. On Veterans Day, and every day, SUNY is proud to support our veterans, active duty servicemembers, and military-connected students.
Today @sunychancellor.bsky.social John B. King Jr. announced the launch of the SUNY Military Tuition Rate Program to ensure SUNY’s academic excellence is fully affordable for active-duty service members, members of the National Guard, and members of the Reserves.

A day late, but worth remembering: 14 years ago I earned my EdD from @teacherscollege.bsky.social @columbiauniversity.bsky.social. I doubted I belonged—imposter syndrome is real—but learned belonging isn’t given; it’s claimed through persistence, purpose & community. @columbiaalumni.bsky.social
