Mission Statement
The Immigrant Student Success Center provides accessible resources for all undocumented and immigrant students to navigate financial aid and support, free legal immigration consultations, relatable professional skills and opportunities, and advising to promote students' success at Hunter College. The Immigrant Student Success team assists with national and internal scholarships for undocumented, immigrant, and children of immigrant students, the New York José Peralta Dream Act TAP; referring and connecting students to CUNY Citizenship NOW; funds for DACA and TPS renewals; and connecting students to internships and fellowships. The center has a dedicated team that advises students pertaining to academic, professional, and status related goals.
With the inaugural opening of the Immigrant Student Success Center in Fall 2024, the Center has opened an intentional social and safe space for students to study, connect, and join for programming.
