STOP 11: College Discovery

So you think you are ready for college, but you just don’t think you can swing the tuition? Not to worry! Kingsborough Community College has a program to help students overcome financial and academic hardships when in need.

Qualify to join The College Discovery Program during your enrollment session, and get additional tuition assistance. Eligibility is based on your family’s income, and PELL and TAP grants are awarded when you qualify. You can attend Kingsborough Community College tuition free for up to 6 semesters, as long as you remain eligible.

College Discovery awards $300 each semester for books, supplies and covers the student activity fee. By the way, the activity fee covers all sorts of cool stuff like a yearbook, athletic events, and visits to the wellness center. The number of College Discovery grads has continued to increase over regular admitted students, and they’re finishing in three years or less!
