CSC Opportunity Grant Program
Application status: Closed

The CSC Opportunity Grant Program has been established to assist children of employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team. Awards for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to creed, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin.

Eligibility
Applicants to the CSC Opportunity Grant Program must be:

  • Dependent* children, age 25 and under, of full-time CSC Domestic (US only) employees who have a minimum of one year of employment as of the application deadline.
    *Dependent children are defined as biological or legally adopted children living in the employee’s household or primarily supported by the employee.
  • High school seniors or graduates or current postsecondary undergraduates, who are enrolled in full-time or part-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire 2023-24 academic year.
  • Current college undergraduates must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.25 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent).

Selection and Award
Education assistance awards of up to $1,000 will be granted to students who meet eligibility requirements.

Awards are not renewable; however, students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. Students may receive education assistance a maximum of four years.

Education assistance awards are made payable to the college/university. Awards may be taxable to the recipient and IRS Form 1099-Misc. will be issued annually to the recipient.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification
Applicants will be notified in late May.
