New York state has restored funding to a program that helps students with disabilities attend Syracuse University.
InclusiveU, a program that helps students with intellectual and developmental disabilities attend SU, will receive $100,000 from the state’s 2021-22 budget. Funding for the program was cut from the budget pre-pandemic, according to an SU News release.
The program launched in 2014. Students apply to SU through a separate application process. The Lawrence B. Taishoff Center for Inclusive Higher Education also received a $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to further develop InclusiveU back in 2016.
