City Tech Receives $398,700 Grant from Jewish Foundation
BROOKLYN — New York City College of Technology (City Tech) has received a $398,700 grant from the Jewish Foundation for the Education of Women (JFEW), one of largest philanthropic gifts in the college’s history.
The grant establishes the JFEW Scholars program, which awarded 20 scholarships of up to $2,500 per year to students in associate degree programs. The first year’s focus will be on students enrolled in City Tech’s healthcare programs — nursing, radiologic technology/medical imaging and dental hygiene. The second year adds students enrolled in the computer information systems program.
The students, most of whom will be entering their second semester at City Tech, will be chosen on the basis of financial need and a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in their first semester at City Tech.
