Testimonials

The students who have been awarded scholarships through STS often share their summer program experiences with us.  Here are a few examples of how summer enrichment programs have impacted the lives of gifted and talented students in Central Ohio.

"The painting class at Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD) taught me about hue, chroma, and value and how that is associated with painting.  I also learned many things like what monochromatic means and what cool, warm and neutral colors are.  I would never have known to add yellow to colors in still lifes (sic) to make it look bright."

"At the Funderburke Financial Program I learned about the U.S. Debt Clock and Social Security.  I learned that us (sic) children are going to have a huge burden on ourselves paying for various governmental ideas."
