SUNY Free Application Weeks Coming Soon!

Attention all families with students applying to colleges and universities in the State University of New York system - did you know that SUNY is offering free application weeks from October 20th - November 3rd, 2025?  

Don’t miss this opportunity to apply to up to five institutions with the $50 application fee waived during this period.  Students can apply using the Common App or the SUNY application and for most schools this means students would be getting their application in before the Early Action deadline, so as a bonus they will hear back sooner (than Regular Decision deadline applicants) on their offer of admission!  It’s a win-win.

The SUNY system includes 64 institutions across New York State - from research universities to liberal arts colleges and from academic medical centers to community colleges.

There are so many college choices and Confident College Planning guides students and families along their college selection journey. Whether you are just starting the process and need some information on steps to complete, would like strategies for researching colleges to match your specific interests, or need feedback on your application and essay – we can help! Contact Nancy at confidentcollegeplanning@gmail.com to find out more about how we can assist you.
