Seniors,
You all should be immensely proud of yourself for submitting your CUNY and SUNY applications last week! As of now, 92% of seniors have submitted their CUNY applications and 70% of seniors have submitted their SUNY applications! This week, we will work to hit 100% of CUNY applications submitted and at least 85% of SUNY applications submitted!
For all seniors who submitted their applications on time, there will be a surprise for you this Tuesday!
This week in senior seminar class, students who are EOP eligible will be submitting their EOP applications on the SUNY portal. Other students will begin working on their Common Application (for out of state public schools and private schools).
*To submit your EOP applications, you must have a copy of your family's 2023 federal and state taxes. To be considered, you must upload the tax file into the application. If admitted through EOP, you will get a $3,000 scholarship yearly while in college.

We will be leaving at 6:15am and will be visiting SUNY New Paltz and then SUNY Dutchess Community College before returning to Maker in the evening. SUNY New Paltz is most well known for their Fine Arts, Performing Arts, Social Sciences, and Business program. Dutchess Community College is a 2-year school that offers many certificate programs and programs you can find in a trade school. Some of their strongest programs are their Computer Information Systems program, Human Services, Education, Business, and Aviation programs, among others. Find the permission slip HERE.
- On our second bus trip of the year, we will be visiting SUNY University at Albany AND Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).
