The program was established to provide scholarships for CUNY students to continue in CUNY undergraduate, graduate, and professional school programs. The scholarship eligibility includes completing at least 16 credits at a CUNY college, with a 3.75 GPA or better, and having performedsignificant community service. 

 Each year, we have the privilege and the challenging task of choosing Belle Zeller Scholars from among the many distinguished applicants. Belle Zeller Scholars receive a scholarship in the amount of $5,000 a year. CUNY undergraduate students may receive the award for up to three years. Those attending the CUNY Graduate Center and Professional School will receive the award for one year, provided they continue to meet all criteria.

 All applications can be found at www.bellezeller.org and the deadline for receipt of all application materials, including the letters of recommendation is March 3, 2023.

The Fund exists for the sole purpose of creating opportunities for CUNY students. Thank you in advance for your help in informing students about the Belle Zeller Scholarship program.
