DYF Students Receive College Acceptances and Scholarships
Spring is an exciting time of year here at Community of Unity, especially over at our Design Your Future college guidance centers. College letters are rolling in and many of our DYF students have already received acceptances to colleges like NYU, Syracuse University, Fordham University, Manhattan College, SUNY New Paltz, Marymount Manhattan, Baldwin Wallace University, SUNY Plattsburgh, Saint Peters College, Drew University, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Oswego, Ithaca College, and more.
Most students are receiving institutional scholarships ranging from several thousand a year to full-rides. And many have received outside scholarships that can be used at the school of their choice. Here is a sampling of DYF’s top successes:
• Clarimar C. was one of 17 students in the northeast to receive the Metro PCS Scholarship, and one of 5 students in NYC to receive the Reginald F. Lewis Foundation scholarship. She will be attending NYU with full scholarship.
• Marcus O. won the renowned Posse Scholarship and will be attending Dickinson College with a full-ride, pre-collegiate training, on-campus support, and career services and professional development upon graduation.
• Kwan H. was accepted to the Macaulay Honors College at CUNY—a prestigious program that is 100% free. Additionally, every student in the program received a free laptop and $7,500 per year to use to enrich their education. Top students from all over the country apply to this coveted program and only 20% are admitted.
• Bella Li was accepted to the prestigious Barnard College
• Crystal L. was recently accepted into Manhattannville College with a full scholarship.
• Erica M. has been accepted to many top tier schools and received at least a half scholarship to each school, not including financial aid.
We expect that successes like these will keep rolling in. Congratulations to our DYF seniors and to our DYF staff for a job well done!
