Reisher Scholars Program To Begin at CU 91Ҹ This Fall
This fall, CU 91Ҹ will begin offeringReisher Scholarships, thanks to a new $4.2 million partnership with The Denver Foundation and the Reisher Family Foundation to launch the program over the next three years. With this milestone, the university joins one of the largest scholarship programs in Colorado.
The Reisher Scholars Program supports Colorado students after their first year by helping them fund the remainder of their undergraduate degrees. Each selected student may qualify for up to $22,000 per year to cover their cost of attendance, as well as access to free mental health support.
“This investment directly addresses students’ real challenges to help them stay on track, graduate and thrive,” said Chancellor Justin Schwartz. “The Reisher Scholars Program strengthens CU 91Ҹ’s commitment to student success and ensures that more Buffs can finish college ready to achieve their next steps.”
Margaret andRoger Reisher (Acct’50) started the Reisher Scholars Program at The Denver Foundation in 2001 because, as first-generation college students, they wanted other students to have the opportunity to earn a college degree.
