From now until October 17, graduating high school seniors in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are encouraged to apply for the Daniels Scholarship which provides up to the full cost of attendance at colleges and universities across the country.  According to the Daniels Scholarship program, scholars who choose one of 22 partner schools receive funding to cover tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies and other educational expenses. Students choosing to attend colleges other than the Daniels Scholarship’s partner schools are eligible to receive up to $100,000 over four years for schools outside the four-state region of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, and up to $30,000 over four years at non-partner institutions within it.

Selection criteria for the Daniels Scholarship include strength of character, leadership potential, commitment to serving their community, academic performance or promise, well-rounded personality and emotional maturity and stability. Applications for the scholarship close October 17 at 4:00 pm Mountain Time, and finalists will be notified in January. The first step typically takes less than an hour to complete. Following a personal interview process, scholarship recipients will be announced in late March. The online application and additional information on the Daniels Scholarship are available here.
