Each year The Griffin Foundation will award scholarships to qualified
applicants who have an associate degree or at least sixty academic
hours from a junior or community college and are seeking to complete a
baccalaureate degree. These scholarships can be used only at Colorado
State University (Fort Collins Campus), the University of Northern
Colorado, or the University of Wyoming (Laramie Campus). These
will hereafter be known as the participating Universities. Recipients
must be eligible for instate tuition. The scholarships are worth $5,000 a
semester at the Participating Universities and will be renewable for up
to two academic years (four semesters) upon submission of evidence of
satisfactory academic progress as a full-time, on-campus student. The
scholarship funds for each recipient will be forwarded to the Participating
University involved for further disbursement to the recipient.
These scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis by ranking
applicants in the following areas for their activities since graduation from
high school:
• Scholarship – achievement at the college level in academic courses as
evidenced by college transcripts from all institutions attended.
• Leadership and service – activities and awards in college and
community, academic service or social organizations. Employment and
family responsibilities will be an important consideration.
• Personal traits – recommendations of three personal references, at
least one of which is from a college administrator, counselor or faculty
member. The applicant’s essay will also apply.
• Financial need – determined by voluntary submission of the data
shown on the application form. Financial need is not a requirement for
this scholarship; however, it is a factor that will be considered among
candidates whose other attributes are substantially equal.
