Case Statement

CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS) students balance work, school, and family life simultaneously. Many struggle with the cost of higher education, often encountering eligibility barriers for federal financial aid. As part of our mission to provide an affordable and accessible education, we seek to offer opportunities that help support our students financially and ease some of their burden of paying for school. Providing scholarships to worthy students in need is one critical way we can help them thrive and complete their degrees.
