STC provides support to teachers and students of technical communication through programs, scholarships, grants and loans, annual conferences, and seminars. The Society also provides information about events and courses related to technical communication.

To assist those interested in pursuing a career in technical communication, STC provides a database of academic programs worldwide. Schools are welcome to add their programs to the database.
STC encourages the study of technical communication through its student competitions and honorary fraternities for students of technical communication. The Society also provides a database of academic programs in technical communication.
Student Competitions
STC offers cash prizes to winners of its student competitions for high school students.
