"I learned that I can pursue material unfamiliar to me and still succeed with effort and perseverance."

"At school, I usually feel like the odd one out, but at CTY, I felt as though I really, truly belonged."

"In this three-week period, I felt like I lived and learned a whole new life!"

Are you a CTY alumnus who wants to help talented students pursue their academic passions, make new friends and sing "American Pie"?

Gifts to the CTY Alumni Scholarship Fund directly benefit students from families that would otherwise not be able to take advantage of CTY Programs. Donations are used to expand scholarships to qualified students from low-income families – typically those making less than $50,000 a year. A gift of $3,500 will pay for one student’s tuition for a residential summer program.  Full and partial scholarships are available, so a gift of any size will make a difference.

No one knows better than you the difference a CTY summer can make. By making a donation today, you will give the CTY experience to another bright child.  Please Donate. Thank you!
