Adult Career and Continuing Education Services - Vocational Rehabilitation (ACCES-VR)

If your employment objective requires college training, ACCES-VR can provide tuition assistance, fees, partial room and board and related supports for consumers who meet eligibility based on their economic need. ACCES-VR consumers must establish an individualized plan for employment (IPE) with an employment objective requiring college training to qualify for ACCES-VR assistance.

In all instances students and families must first access traditional financial aid such as the New York State tuition assistance program (TAP), federal PELL grants and/or Veterans college aid prior to relying on ACCES-VR sponsorship.
