CCS Annual Fund
Our area of greatest need. Gifts to the CCS Annual Fund provide scholarships across all disciplines, allowing young artists the opportunity to pursue their studies.
Named Annual Scholarships
Scholarships that are awarded on an annual basis and can be directed by the donor to benefit a particular department or specific year(s) student. These scholarships be awarded in one year or over a period of years.
Endowed Scholarships
Established with a suggested minimum of $25,000, these funds are invested through the College’s investment advisor and are diversified in various investment funds. Scholarships would begin to be awarded based on the average earnings after a period of three years, based on the donor’s directives regarding department, year of school, academic standing, etc. The principal is never spent and exists in perpetuity.
