Description

The Daniels Scholarship Program helps make college possible for motivated and ambitious students. Daniels Scholars are selected because they embody the criteria Bill Daniels defined for the program: strength of character; leadership potential; commitment to serving their communities; academic performance or promise; well-rounded personality; and emotional maturity and stability. Applicants must be a graduating high school senior; earn a minimum SAT Math score of 490 and a minimum Evidence-Based Reading and Writing score of 490, or a minimum ACT score of 18 in each category (writing score not required); and meet the financial need requirements. Daniels Scholars may attend any two-year or four-year, nonprofit, accredited college or university in the United States. Scholars must intend to complete a bachelor's degree, and those starting at a two-year college must be on a path to earning a bachelor's degree. Daniels Scholarships may not be used at technical or trade schools, or for participation in certificate programs. The Daniels Scholarship, along with generous contributions from partner schools, covers the full cost of attendance (COA) at partner schools within Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Scholars that choose to attend a school outside our 4-state region receive up to $25,000 a year for qualified educational expenses. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
