Vinal Tech Selected to Pilot Connecticut State Scholars Program

Vinal Technical High School in Middletown, Connecticut has been selected as one of three pilot schools in Connecticut to participate in the Connecticut State Scholars Program. The Connecticut Business and Industry Association's (CBIA) Education Foundation is one of just 12 state business organizations nationwide selected by the Center for State Scholars to receive a $300,000 grant to start-up this highly successful program in Connecticut.

The mission of the State Scholars program is to encourage and motivate all high school students to complete a defined, rigorous academic course of study that prepares them for successful transition to college or university coursework or vocational and technical training necessary to enter today's competitive job market. The Connecticut State Scholars pilot program will be launched at Vinal Technical High School in September, 2004.
