PSA State Community Colleges -- MD, RI, TN, CA, OR, NY

[ss20ts]

Just a reminder for residents of the following states: Maryland, Rhode Island, Tennessee, California, New York, Oregon... Remember your state-funded community colleges have no tuition and fees are ridiculously cheap. California caps fees at $46 per unit making all classes under $150 each! New York goes as far as up to a 4-year degree.

Right now with COVID and everyone is online, it is a great time to take advantage of your local community college!

In NY, the state schools really don't have free tuition. There's an Excelsior Scholarship which you have to jump through hoops to get. There's income limits and you must be a first time college student. You can't have taken a single class ever to qualify. It's not as great as it sounds. I truly wish it was. I was very excited when this program was announced, then came the government red tape. 

Oh and all colleges are not online even with COVID here in NY. Many campuses are still open. Most of the 64 SUNY campuses are open and classes are on campus.
