The COVID pandemic has had a profound impact on American workers. Nearly one-third of jobs lost in 2020 have been by employees without a college degree. To regain employment, many of those workers are considering returning to college to earn their degree, and SUNY Orange is the perfect solution to that need.

With conveniently located campuses as well as remote classes available during the current COVID pause, SUNY Orange offers 40 high-quality degree and certificate programs in the areas of: Arts and Media; Business; Culture, Society and the Mind; Education and Human Services; Health Sciences and Wellness; Justice and Community Engagement; and STEM – all at an affordable price.

A SUNY Orange degree is a cost-effective investment in your future. With low tuition, and high financial aid rates – more than 60% of SUNY Orange students receive financial aid – SUNY Orange may be one of the wisest career investments that you can make.

In addition to federal and state financial aid, SUNY Orange students are also eligible for local scholarships and grants through the SUNY Orange Foundation.

As a key partner with the College, the SUNY Orange Foundation is a private 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to generate funds and build resources to enhance learning opportunities for students and the community. Each year the Foundation helps countless students by providing scholarships to students like Veronica Gonzalez-Sangervasio, recipient of the Statya A. Klingelhoffer Presidential Scholarship.

"To think that someone like me,” said Sangervasio, "who always had to worry about funds and make important decisions based on economic circumstances, was granted a resource to make a life for myself beyond high school…there are no words."

The Foundation awarded more than $400,000 to students for the current academic year.
