Scholarship Program Must be Accessed by High School Counselors Only

Members of the Career Colleges & Schools of Texas (CCST) are proud to finance a $1,000 scholarship per graduate for up to ten seniors at each Texas high school. The scholarship is accepted at many of CCST's member career schools.

CCST gives high school counselors the chance to decide which seniors receive the scholarships because CCST knows that educators have insight into the unique needs and desire for the success of students better than almost anyone.

Not every young adult can or wants to attend a four-year college. The colleges and schools of CCST offer a broad range of programs to help students advance in most every field — everything from accounting to web design — so there is sure to be a school that meets the needs of every student.

There's no catch. The selection of who gets the awards, and to what participating CCST career school or schools, is at the sole discretion of your high school. The only thing we ask is that you award the scholarships only to 2013 graduates, and that the recipients of the scholarships demonstrate intent to attend the career school participating in the scholarship program.

Each of the members of CCST is approved by the State of Texas and maintains the highest educational standards. Depending on the course of study, students can receive a diploma or an Associates Degree.
