CUNY EDGE envisions a world in which all people have access to the educational opportunities and support they need to realize academic success, a sustainable career, and a brighter future. We commit to contributing to this vision. CUNY EDGE’s mission is to help CUNY students who receive public assistance achieve academic excellence, graduate on time, and find employment.

The CUNY EDGE/HRA Fellowship Program provides a limited number of paid work opportunities for CUNY EDGE students. Students are paid at the rate of $17 per hour through the Research Foundation of CUNY. There is no cost to your department.

Student Eligibility:

HRA determines eligibility and the number of hours each student is assigned.

Fellowship Site Placement:

CUNY EDGE staff identify available work opportunities on campus.

We screen and match students to appropriate sites, taking into consideration their majors, interest, and experience.

Students gain invaluable professional experience and build their resumes.

If your office is interested in hosting a HRA Fellowship student, please contact the CSI’s CUNY EDGE office to set up an interview with a prospective student:
