The Summit Foundation has helped generations of Summit County high school seniors secure their dreams of post-secondary education. In the past 33 years, the Foundation has awarded nearly $4 Million in scholarships to 1,500 students. This year, we hope to help even more students discover their potential by providing scholarships for traditional and nontraditional educational paths. However, none of this is possible if students don’t complete their applications by January 29, 2023, at 11:59 pm.

The Summit Foundation Scholarships are available to pay for tuition, resources, room, and board. They can be attributed to various institutions from your traditional 4-year university, trade school, or our local Colorado Mountain College. We encourage students from all economic and academic backgrounds to apply as over 75 community scholarships are available. In addition, the Summit Foundation partners with the Mountain Scholars program and is proud to provide financial support and resources to help first-generation students succeed in college.

The Summit Foundation scholarship is one of many available on the online application site. The Site allows students to complete a single application determining their award eligibility for all scholarships. Students are encouraged to establish their profiles and upload their information soon. The application deadline is Sunday, January 29, 2023, at 11:59 pm.

“As a scholarship recipient, I recognize the difference the Summit Foundation made in helping me go to college and look forward to helping this year’s students achieve theirs. states Max Ortiz, The Summit Foundation’s Youth Program Manager. The Summit Foundation and the Summit High School precollegiate team are available to help students navigate the online application website.

The Summit Foundation scholarship committee will meet in March to select the 2023 recipients. Scholarships will be awarded in April at the 2023 Scholarship night.
