“The CTCPA's generosity made an incredible difference in my life. By helping subsidize my education, the scholarship allowed me to rationalize spending more time working internships as opposed to working part-time in a higher paying position that wasn't going to push me forward in the business world. Student debt is becoming more of a problem for college graduates today, and the CTCPA's gift significantly helped push me toward my goal of graduating debt-free.”
