Funding Opportunities

CTY Scholarship support

Sharing our challenging academic programs with all bright children who qualify, regardless of their family's ability to pay, is a crucial part of CTY’s mission. Since 1998, the number of students receiving financial assistance has grown from one percent to more than 17 percent.

In 2012, parents, friends, alumni, foundations, and corporations provided 1,310 students with $5.1 million in financial aid to attend CTY.

The Johns Hopkins CTY Scholars Program

CTY’s national outreach and scholarship program identifies academically talented 8^th graders from low-income families and provides them with the support, challenge, and direction they need throughout high school to gain admission to the nation’s most selective college and universities.

Since 2004, CTY Scholars has enrolled more than 600 students. Alums of the program have gone on to attend such schools as MIT, Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University. To hear from Johns Hopkins freshman Brittany Thomas and other CTY Scholars, click here.
