Ambassador Scholarship Grant

The Ambassador Scholarship, funded by The Denver Foundation, offers undergraduate scholarships to participants of the Ambassador Leadership and Scholarship Program, covering unmet financial needs. One student annually is awarded this scholarship, which is renewable for up to four years if eligibility criteria are met, including maintaining a GPA of at least 2.0. Additionally, two runner-up scholarships of $2,500 are available for finalists. Awards can be used for tuition, fees, and other educational expenses.

NOTE: Typical Scholarship Range: full financial unmet need, $1,500 for a laptop
The Ambassador Scholarship provides undergraduate scholarships to participants of the Ambassador Leadership and Scholarship Program.
Scholarships will be awarded once each year through a competitive process based on engagement in the community, resilience and persistence, positive leadership abilities, vision for the future, and academic proficiency.
Award
One student per year will be selected to receive a scholarship covering the student’s unmet need within their cost of attendance after all other financial aid and scholarships have been applied. Award amounts will vary based on a student’s need, other aid, and the cost of their school. The Ambassador Scholarship is renewable for up to four consecutive years provided that the student completes at least full-time status during fall and spring semesters, as defined by your school’s policy, maintains a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0, demonstrates financial need, continues to have unmet financial need in their cost of attendance, and submits a renewal application each year. Funding may be available for the summer semester at less than full-time status provided you meet the scholarship eligibility and receive approval for funding.
Scholarship awards will be paid directly to the recipient’s school and can be used toward tuition, fees, required books and supplies, room and board, and other qualified educational expenses. Recipients may also request a one-time reimbursement for a computer and/or other supplies required by their school. Award disbursement is contingent upon the financial aid and scholarship acceptance policies of a recipient’s school.
Runner-Up Scholarship: Two additional students will be eligible for a finalist scholarship of $2,500 for one year of college.
