Career Colleges and Schools of Texas: HS Scholarships

Open to 10 Seniors at Each High School in Texas

The Career Colleges & Schools of Texas (CCST) are financing 1,000 scholarships for high school students in Texas. Scholarship specifications and requirements include:

- One, $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.
- The selection of students who are awarded is at the sole discretion of the high school counselor.
- School counselors should only award scholarships to 2014 graduates.
- Selected students have the ability to choose which career school they wish to attend from this list:  schools participating in the CCST scholarship program

CCST gives high school counselors the chance to decide which seniors receive the scholarships because CCST knows that educators have insight into the unique need of their students. Also, because not every young adult can or wants to attend a four-year college, the CCST career colleges and schools offer a broad range of programs to help students advance in most every field. For more information about the scholarship opportunity, visit the CCST Scholarship

 Website or view the Scholarship Flyer. 

The CCST website also features an online searchable directory of more than 125 career schools in Texas including detailed information about class schedules, programs offered and degrees available. Graduating seniors can use this tool to find a program that fits their interests and strengths.
