Fundraiser for Student Scholarships

NYSTAA hosted an online fundraiser to support our annual award of six (6) $1,000 student scholarships.

These scholarships allow students the ability to buy books, cover housing and transportation costs as well as help make their transfer from the community college to the 4-year college as seamless as possible.

Thank you to everyone who purchased virtual tickets!
