Yes, if you live out of state but are employed at a participating QUALITYstarsNY program and attend a CUNY or SUNY college, you are eligible for funding. The QUALITYstarsNY scholarship will fund the CUNY/SUNY tuition rate. If your tuition is higher as an out-of-state student, you are responsible for the difference between the CUNY/SUNY tuition rate and the out-of-state rate.
