OneGoal's Stephanie Flores has 3 Things to Know About CUNY's EDGE Program:

1. CUNY EDGE is a program designed to support students who are on public assistance. Students who receive cash assistance from HRA are eligible for the program.

2. EDGE provides individualized academic, personal, and career planning support, as well as a fellowship program in which students are able to work up to 19 hours per week in a field relevant to their interests.

3. Students may be in another program such as CD, SEEK or ASAP and also be a part of EDGE, as well.

EDGE is offered at each CUNY community and senior college, so reach out to the EDGE office at your school if you are eligible to receive these supports.
