PART OF OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IS OUR TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN (TSIC) PROGRAM, WHICH NOT ONLY PROVIDES A 2 OR 4 YEAR TUITION SCHOLARSHIP FOR STUDENTS IN FINANCIAL NEED, BUT EACH RECIPIENT IS ALSO MATCHED WITH A MENTOR WHILE THEY ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND GETS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHER TSIC SUPPORT SERVICES SUCH AS STUDY SKILLS WORKSHOPS, FREE CULTURAL EXPERIENCES AND COLLEGE TOURS.
