DSF has partnered with Western State Colorado University to provide 25 students from Denver annual tuition waivers and fee waivers through the Denver Scholarship Foundation Presidential Scholarship program. To qualify, students must maintain a 2.5 high school GPA, meet DSF scholarship requirements, and meet application deadlines. Western State University, with only 2,400 students, aims to offer Denver students a private college experience through their academic programs and support student success across Colorado.

1. DSF’s Partnership with Western
State Colorado University

2. •As the Denver Scholarship Foundation (DSF)
pursues its mission of increasing access to
university education for students from Denver, it has
partnered with Colorado postsecondary institutions,
which often match or exceed its funding for students
and offer support for DSF scholars who need it. In
2014, DSF announced a new partnership with
Western State Colorado University in Gunnison.
Through the program, Western will waive fees and
tuition for 25 students from Denver annually.

3. •The scheme, called the Denver Scholarship
Foundation Presidential Scholarship, will
require students to maintain a GPA of 2.5 or
higher in high school and meet DSF’s
scholarship requirements. They will also need
to make several application deadlines.
Western, which has only 2,400 students,
cultivates the feeling of a private college and
offers students over 50 academic programs
from which to choose. The University has
expressed a commitment to fostering the
success of students from all areas of Colorado
and is looking forward to welcoming new
enrollees from Denver.
