How do I apply for the City Year Partnership Discount?

1. Apply for a Lesley graduate program.
Lesley’s Graduate Admissions Office makes all admissions and scholarship decisions, not City Year. Be sure to meet all application requirements and deadlines.

2. Identify your City Year affiliation.
Tell our Graduate Admissions Office that you served with City Year (luadmissions@lesley.edu or 617.349.8300). Reference the "Tuition Discount Partnership Scholarship."

3. Request a City Year service verification letter.
Email alumni@cityyear.org with "Lesley University Graduate Programs" in the subject line. Include the site where you served and your corps graduation month and year. The City Year Alumni Department will send your service verification letter to the Lesley Graduate Admissions Office and add it to your applicant file.
