Reisher Scholarships

The Reisher Scholars Program is one of Colorado’s premier scholarship programs. While many scholarships help students start college, the Reisher Scholars Program supports students midway through college with the financial means to complete their undergraduate degree. Awards range from $4,000 to $15,000 per year at one of eight partner universities.

Some of the requirements for the Reisher scholar include:

  • Be a Colorado resident.
  • Plan to enroll in the fall as a full-time college student working toward their first four-year degree at one of the Reisher Partner Universities.
  • Be a rising sophomore or incoming transfer student from a community college.
  • Demonstrate one or more of the following personal  qualities: highly motivated, goal-oriented, responsible, and/or likely to make a contribution to society as evidenced by community service, leadership activities, work experience, or unusual experiences.
  • Have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
  • Have financial need with a total unmet need of at least $4,000 but not more than $15,000.

 Application deadline varies per scholarship.  For full details for qualifications and to apply, visit The Denver Foundation.
