Brooklyn and Queens CUNYs seek to lessen student hardship with single stop
When you’re a student facing hardship, every bit of help counts.
That’s the message behind the City University of New York’s “Single Stop” initiative, a program providing crucial financial resources at CUNY’s seven community colleges and one four-year college, including three in Brooklyn and Queens.
“The demands of college can overwhelm a student facing hardships outside the classroom,” said CUNY’s Interim Chancellor Vita C. Rabinowitz. “The campus-based Single Stop makes it easier for students to get a range of non-academic help so they can stay focused on their studies. This initiative is another way that CUNY works to help students overcome obstacles to academic success and degree completion.”
