DHS Honors Advantage Academy Graduates and Award Recipients

The Advantage Academy was established in 2009 as an innovative partnership between St. John’s University and the New York City Department of Homeless Services (DHS). The Academy provides qualified individuals from homeless and formerly homeless households with the opportunity to obtain an associate’s degree in business administration from the College of Professional Studies at St. John's University, Queens campus, at no cost. The goal of the program is to break the cycle of poverty through education.
