20 New York State Children Win Free College Tuition
Twenty New York children will get to go to college for free.

On Wednesday, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced 10 second-round winners of New York's "Vaccinate, Educate, Graduate" vaccine incentive program.
Parents and guardians of children ages 5 through 11 who receive their first vaccine dose by December 19th can enter the "Vaccinate, Educate, Graduate" incentive program for a chance to win a full scholarship to any two- or four-year SUNY or CUNY college or university for their child. The scholarship includes tuition, room, and board.
- Tuition: The full cost of in-state tuition at a New York State or City University.
- Non-tuition Costs: Room and board and allowances for books, supplies and transportation up to the average cost at SUNY colleges.
- Residence: Students living on campus will receive a higher room and board allowance than commuter students. If housing is not available for students on campus, they will receive the same allowance as students living on campus.
"Through the 'Vaccinate, Educate, Graduate' program, ten more young New Yorkers will be able to receive life-changing education opportunities at any SUNY or CUNY college or university," Hochul said. "As we enter the holiday season and the risk of transmission increases, it is absolutely critical that we stay vigilant. The vaccine is the surest way to keep you and your loved ones safe - it's free, easily accessible, and most importantly safe for five- to 11-year-olds."
At least 30 more New York children who get vaccinated will receive free college tuition. CLICK HERE to register your child.
