Our instruction is designed to familiarize you with college-level work and to establish good study habits.

Tutoring, Mentorship, and Community Events

We mentor you on scheduling, classes, scholarships, and transferring to 4-year schools. We tutor you through virtual classes and additional one-on-one support. Once enrolled in college, you can come back for tutoring assistance with your college classes by making appointments with College Program staff! Our community is one of the best parts of Grace Outreach. The College Program hosts quarterly alumni gatherings designed to bring current and former students together to share experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you want us to go to CUNY?

City University New York (CUNY) is a not-for-profit network of schools in New York City. A not-for-profit college gets money from state, federal and tuition dollars and puts that money back into the school. A for-profit school is run as a business with the aim of making money. These schools often charge more money for tuition and fees and make false promises about finishing a degree in a very short period of time.

How am I going to pay for School?

Financial Aid is determined based on your income, status as a full or part-time student, and the cost of attendance at the college you choose. Many students qualify for full or partial financial aid which may pay for your full tuition in addition to paying for your books and other fees. Grace Outreach works with you to apply for financial aid and to see what scholarship and loan options are available to you.
