Support form these businesses keeps CSC's program fees as low as possible for our community's schools.

Partners in Science are recognized on CSC's website and Partners in Science donor board for one year, in the Teachers Program Guide distributed to every teacher in eight local school systems and to every school in another eight outlying systems each year, and in an issue of the CSC Member e-newsletter distributed to more than 2,000 households and corporations.
