Ideal Applicant
Educational institutions, scholarship-administration partners, or programs that serve Denver Public Schools graduating seniors and can deliver or verify college tuition payments and enrollment.
Good Fit
- • Direct service to Denver Public Schools students or administration of scholarships for DPS graduates
- • Ability to verify full-time enrollment and provide required documentation
- • Proposals limited to tuition, books, and fees rather than general operating support
- • Local Colorado presence or relationships with Denver-area schools
Geography
Observed giving is tightly concentrated in Colorado (roughly 96% of dollars in the latest year) with support recorded in only three states during the observed period, indicating a strongly local/state-focused footprint.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 43 distinct recipients (scholarship awards to individuals), and over three years it shows both returning recipients and a meaningful number of new awardees, which reflects a broad recipient set for this vehicle.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes application information and a rolling deadline on its website, lists a phone number and mailing address for submissions, and the recent year shows 13 new recipients, so unfamiliar applicants (students or administering organizations) have a clear, practical path to apply.
