most needed.SCHOLARSHIPS and STIPENDS
Scholarships and/or stipends are a popular area in which to donate. With tuition rising every year, Alumni Association scholarships and stipends are designed to help students complete their degree, feeding the CCNY engine that has earned recognition as a top performer in promoting social mobility amongst its graduates. We currently award over 50 scholarships/stipends, with a value of $86,000+, annually. While we are proud of this, it is not nearly enough! We know there are many more students still in need of our support. Scholarships are restricted to tuition only and are assigned directly to a student’s CUNY account. Stipends are much more flexible and allow us to cut a check directly to a student for the purposes of books, activity or testing fees, food, housing, etc. as well as tuition.
ALUMNUS MAGAZINE
We are currently celebrating 115+ years of the Alumnus magazine. Despite the many changes in format and messaging over the years, it continues to foster pride among CCNY alumni, celebrating alumni accomplishments and highlighting both challenges and successes
of City College. This magazine is a significant communication tool for the Alumni Association and serves as a vital connection point for alumni. At its highpoint, the Alumnus produced 10 issues a year. Today, the magazine publishes 3
issues annually. And sadly, it is once again in danger of being downsized. Editing, design, printing and mailing costs can run upto $30,000 per issue. If you do not wish to see a reduction in the number of printed issues, please consider supporting
the magazine with a financial contribution restricted to magazine support.
MENTORING PROGRAM
The Alumni Association is creating a mentoring and career guidance program for recent graduates by tapping into a willing and expert network of alumni, staff, faculty and recruiters. By donating to our mentoring program you are helping to improve the trajectory of a young graduate's career through the development of focused mentoring and networking events, resume building workshops, interview clinics, and an online mentoring platform.
Memorial & Tribute Gifts
When making gifts in honor or memory of someone, if possible, include the honoree’s full name as well as the contact information for the individual or family you are honoring. The Alumni Association will attempt to notify the honoree’s family for acknowledgment.s
