College matters more than ever before for both professional development and personal growth. In fact, nearly 90% of CUNY students receiving welfare secure living wage jobs and move permanently out of poverty after earning their degrees.
Each year, we assist hundreds of low-income, undergraduate students who are working toward a better future.
Come to our FREE workshop and learn how students on public assistance can stay in school without jeopardizing their families’ essential benefits. This 90-minute session covers topics such as:
- Provisions on the 4 Year College Rule
- Provisions of the NYS Work Study/Internship Law
- TAG Program
- Update on WEP (Workfare)
- Fair Hearing Process
