Description

The Pinnacol Foundation Scholarships may be used for four-year, two-year or trade programs at accredited colleges, universities, community colleges and vocational schools. Applicants must be the natural child, adopted child, stepchild or full dependent of a worker who was injured or killed in a compensable work-related accident during the course and scope of employment with a Colorado-based employer and was entitled to receive benefits under the Colorado Workers' Compensation Act. It doesn't matter which insurance company covered your parent's claim. Applicants must have a high school diploma or GED, or be a high school senior. Applicants must submit their Student Aid Report (SAR) from their completed FAFSA and information about their volunteer, extracurricular, and employment experiences. Students may reapply each year.
