CSA Leadership Scholarship
The CSA scholarship is open to all students graduating from a NYC Public School who will be attending any college, including community college, in the fall. The scholarship is intended for a student who shows leadership in school or outside school and who may have had to overcome hardships to reach graduation. The award is not based on the GPA or SAT scores of the student. CSA would like a student chosen who shows potential and academic promise.
Each school may submit up to three (3) applications. One scholarship per borough will be awarded and presented at a dinner at Russo’s On the Bay on June12, 2012. Each award is $1500.
Further information and the application forms can be downloaded HERE. The completed forms are due back at CSA on May 4, 2012
Please contact Anita Gomez-Palacio at anita@csa-nyc.org with questions.
