Military and Military-Connected Students Can Apply for Free
You joined the military because you wanted to be part of something bigger. At The State University of New York, you can continue that journey. When you enroll at SUNY, you won’t be putting your military experience in the past; you’ll be using it as an asset to take on new challenges going forward.
You’ll find a culture of acceptance, understanding and success. More than 40 of our 64 campuses have been named military friendly by G.I. Jobs Magazine and are among the top 15% of colleges nationwide in offering the best overall experience for military students. From academic advising to on-site child care, these SUNY campuses go the extra mile to ensure military students have the resources they need to succeed.
Each SUNY campus has trained counselors who can assist you in making the most of your GI Bill benefits. We’ll work with Veterans Affairs to help make a complicated process as simple as possible.
