The CUNY Writing Fellows (CWF) Program is open to Level II and Level III doctoral students. CUNY Writing Fellows work at various CUNY college campuses in the Writing Across the Curriculum program.

There are different awards and fellowships designated for students who are in the final stage of their doctoral studies. In most cases, it is assumed that the recipient of a dissertation-year fellowship will complete the dissertation during the fellowship year. In all cases, students who will have completed the dissertation, oral defense, and revisions within the first semester of the fellowship year will receive half the award. The student must complete a general dissertation fellowship application, available in the Office of the Provost. The deadline for applications is February 1 preceding the academic year that begins the following fall. Unless otherwise noted, no service is required for any of these awards. For questions please contact Ann Batiuk, 212-817-7240, or abatiuk@gc.cuny.edu. You can download (click here) the application in PDF format.
It varies within 11 subprogram. Please check with your advisor.
The university allows a maximum of 30 acceptable graduate credits taken prior to admission to the doctoral program at the City University may be applied toward the degree provided the courses were completed with a grade of B or higher within an appropriate period preceding the time of application and are equivalent to comparable courses at the City University. However, the actual amount of transferrable credits is different by subprogram policy. See student handbook of each subprogram for details.
Are there special services for minority students? The Office of Educational Opportunity and Diversity Programs (OEODP) sponsors academic support programs designed to promote the success of minority doctoral students in their fields of study and to prepare promising undergraduates for graduate study.

Psychology.
For
those students who just want a regular apartment and/or roommate I strongly
recommend Craigslist.com.
Most people I know that have roommates in the city have found them on
Craigs list. While you have to be careful in your search, craigslist
is an excellent tool for connecting students who are in similar situations.
As long as you are cautious in your search, you can definitely find
roommates that are relatively normal, in situations and age brackets
very similar your own. The resources below are for students who are
might be new to NYC and not want to jump right into the whole NYC apartment
game. These are facilities that have some affiliation and therefore
might offer a little bit more peace of mind. Residences/Rooms to Rent
The following businesses and organizations offer rooms to rent. In most
cases rooms are simply furnished bedrooms, and residents share bathroom
and kitchen facilities. In some cases private bathrooms are available.
