25% scholarships

The scholarship award will be equal to 25% of in-state or out-of-state tuition for up to two City Year applicants per year who are accepted to an undergraduate or graduate program within the College of Education, Health and Human Services.

The scholarship may be renewable for one additional year.

Any City Year student who receives an assistantship will not be eligible for the tuition scholarship.

Scholarships are awarded to City Year AmeriCorps members and alums who complete at least one term of service and City Year staff employed for at least two years.

The scholarships described above represent the minimum awards; applicants will be considered for additional merit-based aid depending on the academic strength of their application.

Additional benefits

  • The application fee will be added to the applicant’s account upon enrollment.
