We offer scholarships every fall to our AgSci students who show promise in sustaining Colorado’s agriculture. They come from regions across the state with diverse backgrounds and experiences. These scholarships are another tool to enhance and ensure their academic success in agricultural sciences.
Proceeds from ticket sales and donations from our sponsors are the primary funding source for our scholarships. We also gratefully accept monetary gifts to support our scholarship resources. Consider a contribution today.
