Alumni Refer-a-Student Program

If you know someone interested in starting or finishing their degree, we want to partner with you in our Refer-a-Student Program!
Those who apply - you can, too! - and then enroll in a SUNY Empire degree program can receive the following benefits:
- $100 Better Together Scholarship toward one term of their enrollment
- Waiver of their $50 orientation fee
- Access to a recruitment professional from their area to answer questions during the application process.
How It Works
For undergraduate and graduate program applicants:
- In the admissions application, under the Additional Information section, go to 'Partnership, Organization, or Alumni Referral,' and type 'alumni' or enter the alumni partnership code ECPTALM. Once you do, you will see 'SUNY Empire Alumni.' Click on that, so it populates the field. The code and selection must be entered to receive the waiver and scholarship.
- Undergraduate applicants who have questions should contact the enrollment and outreach officer in their area.
- Graduate applicants who have academic questions should email [email protected].
