Meaningful Skyhawk Causes

Fort Lewis College and the Colorado Department of Higher Education are partnering to make your financial support go farther. Through the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative, every gift supporting this crowdfunding project will be matched dollar for dollar, so more students can attend and graduate from Fort Lewis College.

The program is designed to: 

• Generate greater availability of scholarship dollars; 
• Promote scholarship programs that include services to help students persist and complete a degree or certificate; 
• Encourage communities to create or leverage partnerships with scholarship foundations to assist their students with covering the costs of higher education and motivate students to pursue a degree or credential; and 
• Align tuition assistance programs with workforce development programs 

All funds supporting this initiative must distribute scholarships to Colorado students who attend Colorado public institutions of higher education. Students whose family income is 250 percent or less of PELL eligibility will be eligible for scholarships funded by the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative.
