Thank you for your interest in the Mayor’s Scholarship Program. Unfortunately, the Scholarship Program is suspended until further notice, so we will not be accepting applications for the upcoming academic year. 

As the current status may not be permanent and we will be monitoring the situation during this health crisis, additional decisions will be considered.   When more information becomes available, we will place it on the City website.   Please check the City website for updates at https://cmvny.com/ or  https://cmvny.com/mayors-scholarship/.

Congratulations on your academic achievements and have a safe summer.
