CTCL Scholarship Fund

Thousands of students and families have benefitted from the transformative, high-impact educational experiences offered by CTCL colleges and universities.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Colleges That Change Lives, the book, and the 10th anniversary of the non-profit CTCL organization, the Board of Directors established the CTCL Scholarship Fund to make the CTCL experience a reality for even more students.

We invite everyone whose lives have been enriched by their CTCL experience to donate to the CTCL Scholarship Fund. Your donations fund scholarships for outstanding students who enroll in any CTCL member college. Since its establishment in 2016, 21 students have received the CTCL Scholarship.

CTCL awarded two $6,000 scholarships in 2023. (Each scholarship is paid directly to the individual student’s CTCL institution, $1,500 per year for 4 years.) High school seniors in the class of 2023 were invited to submit the online application between February 1 and March 24, 2023. Notification of scholarship decisions was emailed to all applicants on April 22, 2023.

Thank you for sharing this message with others who you think may be interested in changing more lives with a donation to the CTCL Scholarship Fund.

$6,000 – Full Scholarship
$3,000 – Half Scholarship
$1,500 – One Year of Scholarship
$250 – Friend of CTCL
