Support for Talented Students

Welcome to Support for Talented Students!

This is the STS Scholarship Application Information!

The scholarship application season for summer 2020 has closed.

Please return January, 2021.

Support for Talented Students (STS) is a tax-exempt, tax-deductible organization whose sole purpose is to provide scholarships for summer enrichment programs for gifted and talented Central Ohio students currently in grades 3-11 from families who cannot otherwise afford the costs. Scholarships are available for all qualified students regardless of gender, religion, race, sexual orientation, or country of national origin. STS has awarded scholarships for summer enrichment programs to hundreds of gifted and talented students in Central Ohio since 1983.

Scholarship Applications are now available online. Use the upper left tab to get the "Scholarship Application Instructions" or click here for the application link.

Applicants must have a sponsor from their school.

Students in the Columbus City Schools do not need to obtain the sponsor's written recommendation. STS will obtain the sponsor's recommendation through the Columbus Gifted program.

Students outside the Columbus City Schools will need to have the sponsor complete a recommendation form and verify the student's gifted identification. Click on the underlined blue text or click on the upper left tab "Sponsor Recommendation" to get the form.

Children who receive scholarship awards will be notified about the last week of April.

It is through the generosity of our contributors and partners that STS is able to provide summer opportunities for Central Ohio students. If you are interested in making a tax-deductible contribution, select the STS brochure.pdf below to obtain the donation form.
