Welcome to City Tech! The Office of Scholarships & Residency Services has created this web page to help guide you through the process of applying for scholarships and grants, and submitting residency documentation.

Many students and parents are interested in learning more about the requirements for New York State resident tuition. There is a significant difference between the resident and non-resident tuition rates and the requirements can be complex. We strongly recommend reading all documents carefully and completely. For assistance or clarification when completing the required forms, you may refer to the Instructions for completing the City University Residency Form. Residency may also impact illegibility for certain types of financial aid. Please ask what scholarships, grants, or other sources of funding are available to you based on your residency status.

We help students navigate the numerous scholarships available and encourage them to apply. Scholarship eligibility is determined upon entrance into the college - based on academic strengths and financial need (if applicable).We continue to monitor eligibility throughout each student's career at the college. We have some tips that can help:
