Yes! It is REALLY free! Kingsborough Community College decided to begin this initiative in collaboration with Single Stop USA in order to support students in achieving their degrees. The college found that a primary reason for students dropping out of school was taking on work responsibilities to meet life priorities, thereby taking longer to finish their degrees or not completing them at all. Kingsborough and Single Stop hope to reduce or prevent that cycle by letting students know which benefits exist to provide them support when they need it.
