Scholarship Success Stories
"Before CTSF, I was working two jobs and still couldn’t afford tuition. The scholarship gave me a
way forward. Today, I’m certified, employed full-time, and finally able to support my family. You
didn’t just fund my training, you changed my life."
Jamal - HVAC TechnicianCTSF Recipient
"I grew up in a low-income neighborhood where college felt out of reach. When my mom got
sick, I had to juggle caregiving and school. CTSF saw my potential and gave me the support I
needed. Now I’m training to become a medical assistant and I’m proud of what I’ve overcome."
Maria - Medical Assistant TraineeCTSF Recipient
"I knew I had the drive, but not the resources. CTSF helped me cover the cost of my certification
exam and gave me the confidence to pursue tech. I now work in IT support and mentor others
who are just starting out. That scholarship was the turning point."
James – IT Support Specialist CTSF Recipient
"As a first-generation student, I often felt invisible. CTSF helped me feel seen. The scholarship
wasn’t just financial, it was a vote of confidence. I now work in healthcare and advocate for
others who need that same chance."
