Financial Aid

Financial aid is not available for the Academic Year Program. We encourage students to reach out to their school counselors for information regarding any potential sources of external funding. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available to residents of New York City who participate in the NYC Commuter Summer 3-Week Academic Enrichment program.

Note: Financial Aid is only available to eligible students enrolling in Session A or Session B

A limited number of need-based scholarships are available to residents of New York City who participate in the NYC Commuter Summer 3-Week program. Awards are equal to 50% of the program cost and they may not be combined with additional financial aid granted through the School of Professional Studies (SPS) or a collaborating organization.

When applying to the NYC Commuter Summer 3-Week program, students will have an opportunity to indicate that they are applying for financial aid. Students who meet the minimum program qualification for admission and financial aid residency requirement will be sent a financial aid application to complete via the online application portal. Students who do not meet the minimum qualifications will not have access to the financial aid application.

All financial aid applications require formal documentation of the most recent tax return and W-2 parent(s)/legal guardian(s). Documentation for all parent(s)/legal guardian(s), regardless of marital status, is required. Both the custodial and non-custodial parent/legal guardian must submit the required materials. If either individual has remarried, the income from the new family unit must be reported in full. When reviewing for aid, information submitted from all parties will be considered. Applicants will also be required to answer additional supplementary questions related to income and household information.

Please note that scholarship funding is limited. Applications for financial aid will be reviewed on a first-completed, first-admitted basis. Upon admission to the program, applicants will receive a decision regarding their financial aid application. The non-refundable deposit amount for scholarship recipients will be $1,000.

Students participating in other programs should speak with their school counselor for information on how to search for financial aid and scholarship opportunities from outside sources and organizations.
