Scientific endeavor is instrumental in solving social, environmental, and technical challenges that societies face worldwide. We support schools in our community to inspire young people to choose a career committed to science.

Our goal is to encourage and support students with an interest in STEM by providing financial security during their college years with a $10K scholarship.

From 2018 to 2021, we awarded 20 STEM student scholarships. For 2021, we doubled the number of scholarships available from 4 to 8 students annually.

Students of color are underrepresented in STEM programs and courses compared to their overall college enrollment rate. There is racial imbalance amongst STEM majors, evidenced by the fact that only 7.6% of all STEM bachelor degrees were obtained by students of color in recent years. To help drive diversity and innovation, CST added four additional $10K scholarships available to high school senior students of color in Essex County, Massachusetts that are accepted and enrolled in undergraduate STEM-related majors.

Employee volunteers serve organizations to help promote science education, and CST is proud to provide financial support.
