WELCOME!
T&R Fund provides scholarships to fulltime, undergraduate, single parent college scholars in need of financial aid. We presently have only one program available for the 2012 / 2013 school year. The program available is the Southern Program for students at UCCS and Pikes Peak Community College. The Northern Program, covering CU Denver and Boulder as well as the Community College of Denver, was discontinued for new applicants effective the 2012/12 school year. Scholars in the Northern Program granted scholarships in the 2011/12 school year are eligible to renew their scholarships until they graduate, as long as the minimum renewal criteria are met.
Competition for our scholarships is sometimes intense and not all applicants should expect to be awarded a scholarship. If you did not win a scholarship the first time you applied, you may wish to try again a year later.
