Since 1971, the Center for Technical Studies has addressed the challenge of financing a college education. During that time, CTS has allocated in excess of $750,000 in financial aid to its graduating seniors.
Through this competitive and privately funded scholarship program, CTS seniors have been able to attend a wide variety of post-secondary schools. Preparation for this scholarship commences with the first day at the Center for Technical Studies and culminates with the formal application for a scholarship, made in January of the senior year.
