El Pomar Scholarship - Colorado College

The El Pomar Scholarship was created to encourage talented and passionate students from Colorado to pursue careers in public policy or nonprofit work by fully covering tuition, room and board at Colorado College.  The scholarship provides students with a first rate liberal arts and sciences education, along with valuable hands on experiences and exposure to the foundation's work in the nonprofit sector.  Throughout four years at CC, El Pomar Scholars learn to think critically, work independently, and are encouraged to become leaders in their own communities and abroad.

Candidates are evaluated on the overall strength of their Colorado College admission application (grades, test scores, essays, recommendations, etc.), leadership potential, engagement in service / public policy activities, as well as on their responses to the scholarship application.  The El Pomar Application is due February 15th.
