CPS Student Professional Success Program

Supported through philanthropic funds and grants, the CPS Student Professional Success Fund and the CPS Research Fund provide professional development support for undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and graduate students in Professional Studies majors. Awards aid the students by offsetting expenses associated with research: travel and registration for professional conferences, trainings, unpaid internships, and practicum placements. 

Each semester, approximately 15 (fifteen) $250 awards are available.
