Interest Form

Thank you for your interest in applying to the Summer Intensive English Language Program (SIELP) offered by Hostos College Now (CUNY) and the NYC Public School's Office of Multilingual Learners.

Please read this section carefully as the application process requires 2 parts this year:

1. Completion of this interest form and
2. Completion of the CUNY application.

Both must be submitted to be considered for this year's program. You will receive a link to the CUNY application upon completion of this form.

SIELP is a college credit class that provides Multilingual Learners an opportunity to develop and hone their writing skills, improve their critical thinking, gain college credits, and meet new friends. This program is intended for Multilingual Learners who will be in 11th or 12th grade in Fall 2025. The program is best suited for those whose proficiency level ranges from emerging to expanding. Please note that grades on a transcript do not solely determine eligibility. However, an 80% overall GPA is a College Now requirement with considerations made on a case by case basis.

Participants in the Summer Intensive English Language Program will be enrolled in a 2-credit English as a Second Language course at Hostos Community College. Upon successfully completing the course, students will have the opportunity to enroll in a 3-credit Acting course in Fall 2025.

The summer program will take place July 1st - August 7th from 9am - 3pm, Monday - Thursday.

In-person: Class will be hosted on campus at 450 Grand Concourse, Building C, Room 490 Bronx, NY. Metrocard, lunch, and field trips will be provided.

How to Confirm Interest: Students should work with a School Counselor or Teacher to complete this interest form and their CUNY Application. Students who submit a completed interest form and their CUNY application will then receive notice to finalize their application through a placement activity administered by their school to determine eligibility and acceptance into the program.

The interest form and CUNY Application are due April 2nd.

We are here to support you!
