“The Excelsior Scholarship program has been a great success in making high-quality public higher education even more accessible and affordable for New York’s full-time students. At the same time, Excelsior Scholarships provide both an incentive and a clear path to degree completion.

“Together with Chancellor Johnson and our colleagues across the SUNY system, we look forward to growing the Excelsior Scholarship as we work to make degree completion an even greater reality for an increasing number of traditional and nontraditional students.”
