Study/Travel Opportunities for CUNY Students (STOCS) scholarships ranging from $500 to $1500 are offered to undergraduate CUNY students who participate in short-term (summer and winter intersession) CUNY study abroad programs. Applications are reviewed by a committee of CUNY faculty and administrators, and grants are awarded on the basis of ability to benefit and financial need (students with a family income of more than $65,000 are not eligible).

Funded by the a grant from The New York Community Trust DeWitt Wallace/Youth Travel Enrichment Fund, the STOCS program aims to increase the number of CUNY students studying overseas by providing scholarships to deserving students. It has contributed toward the strengthening of existing short-term CUNY study abroad programs and the development of new ones.

More than 1,500 CUNY students have received STOCS grants since 1994.
