Students can submit up to 5 applications for free between now and November 4th. Usually, the cost to submit an application is $50 so that means students can save up to $250 during the next two weeks.

Students can apply using the SUNY website, the college websites, or the common application app. Each of those websites will allow students to pay the 0 application fee.

The best part is that you don't have to do anything extra to get the deal. You just fill out the application like normal and then when you go to apply, the promo discount will be taken off your bill automatically.

This a great way for students to apply to several places and see what kind of scholarship offers and financial aid they can get from each school.

The SUNY System is made up of 64 different institutions located all across New York State. This will also be a good time to apply if you have thought about going back to school full or part-time.
