by Riikka Olson

Delhi, NY (09/01/2020) — Effective this fall, SUNY Delhi will offer an application fee waiver for military and military-connected students pursuing a graduate degree. The decision to waive the non-refundable $50 application fee aligns with a SUNY-wide policy to support military and military-connected students.

To qualify for the fee waiver, the applicant must be an active duty service member, a National Guard or active Reserve member, a veteran, or a spouse or dependent child of an active duty, National Guard, active Reserve, or veteran sponsor.

According to SUNY Delhi Director of Admissions and Enrollment Management Robert Piurowski, the graduate study application fee waiver comes with unanimous support from campus leadership.

"With this measure, we further validate SUNY Delhi's pursuit to be a military-friendly campus through all our options, including on campus, online, and through our community college partnerships," Piurowski said.

SUNY Delhi Associate Director of Admissions Misty Fields added, "The fee waiver helps to honor students for their service and strengthen our commitment to providing affordable access to education while assisting students in advancing their careers."

Qualified applicants should reach out to SUNY Delhi Office of Admissions at (607) 746-4550 or enroll@delhi.edu and request the Graduate Admissions Application Fee Waiver Request form.

As a military-friendly designated school, SUNY Delhi has a long-standing commitment to supporting student veterans. Extensive services offered to student veterans include peer mentoring and support, health and counseling services, and career guidance. Veteran service experience can also translate to academic credit. Additional benefits include tutorial assistance, bill deferment, and work study programs.
