Expand Emergency Financial Aid for SUNY and CUNY Students

✦ Plain-Language Summary

This bill allows SUNY and CUNY to provide emergency financial grants to students facing unexpected hardships like sudden loss of income, housing instability, or other crises. These grants would help students stay enrolled and continue their education without being derailed by short-term financial emergencies. New York college students at public universities would have a safety net to help them get through tough times and complete their degrees.
