The # 1 way to pay for college is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA
Filling out the FAFSA gives you access to grants, scholarships and student loans.
After you complete the FAFSA, you will be able to apply for several grants through NYS including the Excelsior Grant.
The Excelsior Grant pays the full tuition at any SUNY college if your family income is below $125,000
