The Excelsior Scholarship Fund was created to help bridge the financial gap for college-bound students who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds yet excel academically. This opportunity specifically looks to support you as you transition from CCD and transfer to a four-year institution (public or private) or those who will be studying at a vocational/technical school in the fall semester.

Scholarships of varying amounts will be awarded once each year through a competitive process. Award amounts can be up to $5,000 per year for four-year institutions and up to $4,500 per year for vocational/technical schools. These awards are based on the strength of your application and your unmet financial need. Awards can be used for the following expenses (depending on where you attend school):

• Four-year Institutions: Tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, and health insurance
• Vocational/Technical Schools: Tuition, fees, books, and supplies

• Must be currently enrolled at a two-year community college or attending a vocational/technical school in Colorado 
• Must be a resident of Colorado
• Must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA
• Will be enrolling at an accredited four-year college/university (public or private) in the upcoming academic year or continuing study in a technical skill training program at an accredited or recognized institution and earning a certificate/certification or a professional license.

Selection

Scholarships will be awarded once each year through a competitive process based on your potential to succeed in college, as well as your financial need, academic achievement, and commitment to community and civic involvement.

Scholarship awards will be paid directly to your school. Awards must be used for the school year. You may be able to reapply for this scholarship and be awarded provided you meet all renewal eligibility criteria and funding is available.
