Almost $9 Million From Private Donors

The CUNY Graduate School of Journalism has met with great success in its drive to raise private funds for scholarships and academic enhancements that will ensure its success as a top-flight graduate program. Over the past three years, friends of the School of Journalism and supporters of its mission have donated almost $9 million to help get the School successfully underway.

The gifts already have been used to offer approximately 150 full and partial scholarships to students who otherwise couldn’t afford to attend the School. These need-based scholarships have ranged in size from $1,000 to $7,580, the full cost of annual tuition and fees. Scholarship support is key to the mission of enrolling a diverse group of talented and promising students. Private support is also used to help subsidize summer internships.

Although the School of Journalism is publicly supported, many program enhancements are beyond the scope of its modest tuition and state funding. To build a truly great program, the School must secure supplementary help from the private sector.
