CUNY BMI NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR TEACHERS AS LEADERS PROJECT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
With the generous support of the Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation and The Schott Foundation for Public Education , CUNY BMI has created the Teachers as Leaders Project which offers CUNY students: (1) full scholarships; (2) New York State Teacher Certification Examination (NYSTCE) workshops; (3) career development and public policy workshops; (4) clinical education experiences and (5) mentorship from current and former New York City public school teachers. TALP scholarships are renewable depending on continued funding as well as the scholarship recipient's level of participation and progress in the program.

Eleven (11) students, six (6) men and five (5) women, were admitted into the second cohort during the fall 2008 semester.
