College Discovery

The College Discovery Program is funded by The City University of New York to provide support services to eligible students. Students apply through the admissions process. Acceptance is based on financial need, high school average and completion of the summer workshops provided by HALC (Hostos Academic Learning Center). Students must be first time freshmen, provide documentation of at least one year of NYC residency and US citizenship or permanent residency.

College Discovery students receive a variety of academic and support services that include some financial assistance to cover costs of educational expenses.

Academic support services consist of access to a Supplemental Instruction Resource Center (SIRC) that provides tutoring in subjects such as ESL, English, Math, Spanish, Biology and Chemistry. In addition, the SIRC is equipped with computers that provide students with access to the Internet and software that assists students with remedial coursework and preparation for the CPE exam.

Counseling services assist students with personal and academic matters and other issues that impact academic performance. Academic workshops are offered on an ongoing basis.
