Scholarship

The Career Success Scholarship, which is generously supported by the Helena Rubinstein Foundation, is the first such program at CUNY that is just for individuals enrolling in continuing education programs. It is open to individuals who seek to advance their careers through education and training, and who do not have access to other sources of funding that can pay for tuition. Scholarship applicants may also be individuals who are unemployed or seeking a career change. Successful applicants will either have no degree, or else, if they have a degree, have been out of school for at least five years.

The Career Success Scholarship is only available during Fall and Spring terms. Applicants must submit the required documentation in full by the close date for consideration. Note that awards are for up to 90 percent of tuition only.

The application for the Spring 2024 semester will be available as of November 22, 2023, and the application period will be open until 4:59 pm on January 10, 2024. Late submissions will not be considered. Awards will be announced to recipients by the close of business on January 19, 2024.
