The Association of Private Colleges (APC) announced that nine of its member institutions joined more than 130 colleges and universities in waiving application fees as part of New York State College Application Month.

“We know that making higher education more affordable for students is essential,”  said Donna Stelling Gurnett, President of New York’s Association of Private Colleges. “Whether expanding TAP to part-time students attending degree-granting proprietary colleges or waiving application fees during College Application Month, we appreciate the support for initiatives that will help open doors for students who may not have pursued their higher education because of financial barriers. APC members are proud to partner with the governor, SUNY, CUNY, and other private colleges and universities to provide invaluable opportunities for all students to explore.”

Three of the nine members will waive application fees year-round, while Plaza College will waive fees through December 14. The complete list of participating APC schools is available below:
