About Our Program

Brothers For Excellence at Hunter College is a student-centered program, open to all but focused on helping Black and Latino males become successful graduates. We are also committed to retaining and increasing the academic achievement of the participating members. To do this, we offer our students academic scholarships and support services such as structured mentoring, tutoring, counseling, and access to dormitories. In addition, we expose high school students to the BMI as a way to encourage them to apply to attend Hunter College. Over 50% of our students have GPA's of B+ or better, and that number grows larger every year!

On this site, you can read testimonies of students who have been a part of the Hunter BMI community, find links to our events, and discover information on various programs offering academic support. We hope to see you at one of our weekly meetings at 695 Park Avenue in Room E1218 every Wednesday from 1 pm to 3 pm. Food (with vegan options) is always provided!

All programs and activities of Brothers for Excellence are open to all academically eligible students, faculty and staff, without regard to race, gender, national origin or other characteristics.
