Scholarships at St. Francis College for Day 1 CPT Students?

Day 1 CPT Universities

Hi everyone,

My friend is currently looking for affordable Day 1 CPT schools in New York and came across St. Francis College. Does anyone know if they offer scholarships or financial aid for Day 1 CPT students?

Also, do you think St. Francis College is a better option than Monroe University? St. Francis College is closer to Manhattan and cheaper than Monroe, but it seems everyone in NYC is going to Monroe :joy:. Does anyone have experiences in attending either school? Any information would be super helpful!

—thanks in advance!

I think Monroe offer scholarship as well, and it’d be more affordable if this is their second master in the US. As far as I know, I think Monroe people are trying to establish a more solid program where you actually learn stuff and can take away some lessons. Idk if St. Francis College is still valid with their SEVP under current stage..

In New York, i heard Monroe is much more better. Both on quality and school reputation.

I heard that they are laying off at least 1/4 of their staff. Not sure how it will impact the school administration…

Waaaat?? St. Francis College?? That sounds scary..

If you search SFC on Google, you’ll find some not-so-great news—like this one about recent layoffs：https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/01/15/st-francis-college-brooklyn-layoffs/

I’m honestly not too sure about how things are going there. Might be a good idea to check out some other schools.
