Where students with enormous potential achieve exceptional success.
CSTEP awards scholarships to students for Kaplan review courses.
CSTEP partners with Kaplan to provide standardized test preparation for the following courses required for graduate or professional school: GRE, DAT, LSAT, MCAT, OAT and PCAT. The delivery of these prep courses supports CSTEP in our mission to increase the number of underrepresented or economically disadvantaged students pursuing the licensed professions such as medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy, psychology etc. or STEM fields. Each course includes classes (choose from in-person, online and on demand), books, online resources, practice tests and personalized study plans. Please note that live online plus is not an option.
Students can apply for the CSTEP Kaplan Scholarship on a rolling basis during the academic year and summer as Kaplan offers new courses each month. Kaplan Scholarship pplications should be submitted at least 4-6 weeks prior to the start of the desired prep course. The CSTEP Kaplan scholarship covers most, but not all costs for the Kaplan prep courses. Students pay a small deposit and CSTEP covers the preponderance of the cost.
“My GRE scores increased over 100 points. The CSTEP/Kaplan Scholarship was a great investment because the course showed me tricks and strategies that I would not have thought of. It also allowed me to get comfortable with the test so that when I actually took it I knew what kind of questions to expect…”
