The New York State University at Albany has been granted $1 million from the US Department of Education to offer outreach services for low-income students.
The school will use the funds to help applicants in Albany, Schenectady, and Troy, NY. One thousand students per year for five years will benefit from the program.
A small portion of the contribution will also pay for technical assistance to school districts.
This is the third grant the school has received from the Department of Education’s Trio program.
