""Our city advances when our workers can too. By connecting city workers to undergraduate and graduate educations, we're empowering the next generation of civil servants who act ambitiously, think creatively and believe firmly in government's ability to improve the lives of working people.""
""The initiative expands the 60-year-old Mayor's Graduate Scholarship Program, which has awarded city employees between about $360,000 and $530,000 a year in scholarships from participating schools.""
""City employees interested in applying must submit applications through their agencies and meet admissions requirements for their chosen schools.""
""Applications for undergraduate scholarships are open from March 30 through April 27 for programs beginning this fall, with graduate scholarship applications opening in mid-September.""
The Mayor's Scholarship Program allows full-time city employees to apply for financial assistance for associate, bachelor's, and advanced degrees. This initiative builds on the existing Mayor's Graduate Scholarship Program, which has provided significant funding for city employees' education. The program is overseen by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, with scholarships funded by participating colleges and universities. Applications for the undergraduate program will be accepted from March 30 to April 27, with partnerships established with ten colleges, including Columbia University and Fordham University.
