Graduate School Preparation

CSTEP provides assistance, advice, and support for students preparing to apply to graduate or professional school. We will support you during the application process, as you write and edit your personal statement, secure letters of recommendations and submit your graduate school applications.

CSTEP Kaplan Scholarship

Standardized testing remains an integral component of graduate school admissions criteria. The CSTEP Kaplan Scholarship is available for eligible students applying to graduate or professional school. This scholarship helps CSTEP students prepare for standardized exams required for graduate school admissions.

Several of the licensed professions that CSTEP targets require individuals attend graduate/professional school (i.e. medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy, law, etc.). Scholarship recipients have been successful in gaining entrance into graduate school and report that Kaplan preparation courses significantly improved their scores, resulting in increased abilities to compete for graduate school admissions.

You can apply to enroll in the following preparatory courses offered through Kaplan including: GRE, DAT, MCAT, LSAT, PCAT, etc. Each course includes classes, books, online resources, practice tests and personalized study plans.
