CSM’s Scholarship Awards Ceremony is one of my favorite days of our academic year. This year we were able to award scholarships to 198 students for a total of $210,519.68. We are able to award these scholarships due to the generous support of our many donors. I want to congratulate our student scholarship awardees. Whether you plan to transfer or enter your chosen career, I have no doubt that you will enjoy further success. To our donors: thank you so much for your generosity. Your kind gifts make a real difference to our students.
