I read somewhere that there are some private New York State Colleges who have a similiar program to the excelsior for financial aid. Does anyone know how I would go about researching these colleges?
I’m not sure how to research it exactly but I remembered hearing something about Ithaca offering an additional amount to families that would qualify for Excelsior. I googled Ithaca College Excelsior and found this article. It might serve as a starting point
Also, I have seen some tv ads for Siena College touting a new grant for all new accepted students so I might look there, too.
