A priority of the CPTC Foundation is scholarship and grant opportunities for students. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships and grants to assist students in pursuit of higher education. CPTC graduates contribute to a pool of highly qualified workers that attract new industry and sustain existing workforce needs. Upon employment, CPTC graduates strengthen the economy of Southeast Georgia in that most live and work near their alma mater. For this reason, students and student success are and will remain a priority for the CPTC Foundation. For more information about the CPTC Foundation and the Board of Trustees – please visit our website http://cptcfoundation.com/
The Foundation Board of Trustees raise funds through various ways including fundraisers such as the Annual John P. Pike Golf Tournament, Annual Sporting Clays Shoot and others. We have tremendous support from our community partners in our service are who donate to the Foundation annually to help the College train their future workers. Many people and business set up scholarships and endowments in honor and memory of loved ones in our area by donating money to the Foundation to help students as well. We also have wonderful support from the CPTC staff who donate through an internal campaign right back to the College to help their own students with their own education.
The Foundation offers around 50 different scholarship opportunities for students to apply for eligibility. The scholarship application eligibility deadlines are announced prior to the upcoming semesters but generally are available for the prior 5 weeks or so before the semester begins. To see if a student qualifies for any one or more of these scholarship opportunities, the student needs to:
- Go to our website and fill out one standard application - http://cptcfoundation.com/apply/
(student must use their college log in and password in order to apply)
- The student must be already accepted to the College and registered for classes to the upcoming semester in order to apply for a CPTC scholarship.
- The student must fill out all financial aid paperwork in advance before filling out his or her CPTC scholarship.
