CUNY EDGE offers scholarships, incentives, and other supports that help keep students on track for graduation.
Each CUNY EDGE campus has a small amount of funding to cover tuition, fees, and outstanding balances in order to help students in the CUNY EDGE program remain on track to graduation. At Brooklyn College, the majority of support is given for one course in the summer. CUNY EDGE students who are graduating in fall, winter, or spring may apply by completing the CUNY EDGE Scholarship form.

CUNY EDGE’s mission is to help CUNY students who are receiving public assistance achieve academic excellence, graduate on time, and find employment. CUNY EDGE has a small amount of funding to encourage behavior that will help students reach these goals. At the end of the fall 2019 semester, students who earned a grade point average of 3.00 or higher that semester received a $60 bookstore or cafeteria voucher, or other incentive approved by the Central Office. Only CUNY EDGE students who are actively engaged in the program are eligible for academic achievement incentives. CUNY EDGE students are those who are enrolled in classes during the current semester, receive TANF or Safety Net benefits from HRA, and have an FIA school letter completed.
CUNY EDGE may also be able to provide additional support to graduating CUNY EDGE students or CUNY EDGE students who are re-enrolling at Brooklyn College.
