SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships close the financial gap, so a CSP degree is accessible to students who might otherwise be unable to afford college. Increased financial aid increases the graduation rate and allows students more time to focus on academics while fully engaging in the CSP experience. In short, scholarships change lives.
