Monroe University has a long history of proven programs that increase college access, affordability, and attainment for first-generation and other students who are often under-served and under-represented on college campuses across the country.

We are proud to be recognized for our strong outcomes, especially for low-income students from New York City. Our bachelor's degree graduation rate is among the highest in the country for students receiving Pell (1), and our Presidential Partnership Program is among the most effective programs in New York State for low-income students and undocumented students (2).
