Allison Thomas Swanberg Memorial Scholarship

Allison Thomas Swanberg was a selfless, proud, and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and dear friend to many. Lifelong resident of Arvada Colorado, Allison dedicated much of her life to serving her community. Allison's passion for service touched the lives of many in her community, and is exemplified by her position as the Scholarship and Grant Coordinator at Arvada West High School, the school she attended as well as her three daughters. In this role, she helped countless students apply for and receive scholarship aid, allowing numerous students to pursue their dreams. She passed away in June 2022 at the young age of 62 years old. This scholarship will continue Allison’s legacy of helping students achieve their educational goals, no matter the stage in their journey.

Any high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student attending a Colorado college or university who has at least a 3.0 GPA and community service or volunteering experience may apply for this scholarship.
