Whereas CSI’s annual tuition compares favorably with the national average for public higher education, approximately 75 percent ofcol-csi the College’s student body works and raises a family while attending CSI. The sponsorship dollars raised by the Ball will allow students to focus on their academic careers and excel in the future, permitting many CSI graduates to go into highly successful careers and attend the most prestigious graduate, MD, and PhD programs in the country.
Tickets are $250 per person or $450 per couple.
