Support for Talented Students Scholarships

Support for Talented Students (STS) is a foundation whose purpose is to provide scholarships to gifted and talented students in grades K-12. Scholarships are made available for students who would benefit from enrichment activities not normally provided by schools. Some examples of activities that have been previously funded are math/computer courses, art and music instructional programs, science and engineering camps, and other academic summer programs.
For information, see Support for Talented Students application information.
The deadline for STS is in March, so timely action is recommended.
