NYS School Technology Voucher
Program (Cy Pres Fund)
Program Purpose
Assist eligible schools in their efforts to improve their readiness for computer-based
testing (CBT) and a technology-rich learning environment. While the NYS-STVP is
platform neutral, the focus is to leverage the Cy Pres Fund to support schools in their
efforts to close the gap in their readiness for CBT and overall integration of
technology in classroom teaching and learning.
