The Office of Veterans' Affairs is located in the Registrar's Office on each campus. Personal and career counseling, assistance in completing applications for veteran's assistance, and outreach and placement are all available through this office. Veteran students are urged to use these services and are encouraged to check at least once a semester on the status of their enrollment certification. Native Americans who are full-time students working toward a bachelor's degree may receive Federal grants. The students must possess one-fourth or more degree of Native American Indian ancestry, must be members of tribes served by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, must presently reside or have resided on the reservation, and must have definite financial need.
Maximum usage is for eight semesters.
The amount of the grant is determined by the amount of net taxable income reported on New York State income tax returns for the student and parents.
