Ideal Applicant
Higher-education institutions or scholarship administrators applying on behalf of eligible students from Mesa County, CO or Carbon County, UT, or individual students meeting the stated residency and financial-need criteria.
Good Fit
- • Applicants are students who can document residency in Mesa County (CO) or Carbon County (UT).
- • Applications routed through a college/university scholarship office or AcademicWorks portal.
- • Requests are for need-based scholarships or tuition support in postsecondary education.
- • Institutional partners are universities, colleges, or scholarship funds accustomed to managing awards and billing.
Geography
Observed grants reached organizations in 20 states in the latest year, demonstrating a multi-state footprint even though about two-thirds of dollars remained in Colorado.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 52 distinct recipients (many colleges and universities) with a mix of returning and new grantees, indicating a broad recipient set despite dollar concentration in a few large awards.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of access exists: a public website and AcademicWorks application portal with a clear deadline, and the latest year included 23 new recipients (about 44%), so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
