In an effort to help students experiencing food insecurity, the CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS) offers a virtual Food Access Initiative. This program, developed with donations from the Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation and the CUNY SPS Student Association, will provide all eligible students with $50 micro-grants that they may use to purchase groceries.

Students may request micro-grants every 30 days as long as they are enrolled in the current semester and provide proof of purchase of groceries from a previous grant. Initial grants will be distributed as an e-grocery card.
