BUFFALO, N.Y. — Applications for the Excelsior Scholarship Program are now open.
The scholarship covers tuition at SUNY schools for middle-class students.
Last week the scholarship website would not allow students to apply.
Earlier this week, the state warned that Excelsior Awards may have to be reduced, and/or prioritized for current recipients because of financial losses due to COVID-19.
That message is still online, but applications are open.
