Brooklyn College Immigrant Student Success Office COVID-19 Emergency Relief Grant Application
The Immigrant Student Success Office (ISSO) was created to provide a safe and welcoming space where all students are treated with respect and dignity, using an integrated network of resources to help students reach the desired goal of completing a college degree armed with the knowledge, skills and necessary abilities to obtain successful careers.

This grant is available to students who are undocumented, DACAmented, TPS, refugees, asylum seekers, international, and first-generation immigrants.
