Cayla Harris is reporting for the Times Union state colleges and universities announced November 10, a plan to waive application fees for veterans and their spouses. Application fees can range from $50 to $65, according to a press release from the governor's office.

Andrew M. Cuomo said. Read the full story in the Times Union.
