The Mayor’s Graduate Scholarship Program (MGSP) offers New York City employees an opportunity to study at accredited colleges/universities in the metropolitan area. The program, administered by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), provides full and partial scholarships for graduate study in a wide variety of fields such as business, public administration, policy analysis, law, education, engineering, nursing, public health, computer science, social work, and other profession-specific programs. MGSP is a great way for employees to enhance their skills in areas of interest, while working for the City full-time and studying on their own time. To be eligible you must be a full-time New York City government employee and have an undergraduate degree from an accredited college/university or will have completed your undergraduate degree by the fall of the academic year for which you are applying.

You must remain a full-time City employee throughout your course of study. Applications are now being accepted for the 2018/2019 academic year. All applications must be sent to Jacqueline Merveil, FDNY Registrar, Bureau of Training/Fire & Life Safety, 401 Murray Avenue, Ft. Totten, NY 11359, no later than Friday, November 17th. No extensions will be granted nor will any application be processed unless it goes through the Office of Fire & Life Safety screening. All applications must be typed. Information about the program including the application process and a list of participating institutions is available online at www.nyc.gov/mgsp, or you may contact Jacqueline Merveil at 718-281-8465.
