Every CRJS student receives scholarships, making tuition affordable. No family pays more than $2500 in annual tuition.

The Corporate Work Study program places students in entry-level corporate jobs at area partner businesses and non-profit organizations, where they work 5 days each month, gaining professional corporate experience and developing life skills.
