Maverick - Colorado Springs Scholarship
Some of the best students don't fit the mold. Maybe you've been working a job to help out at home, carrying responsibilities that left little time to polish an essay or build a résumé. Maybe your school didn't have a counselor to walk you through your next steps. You've had to figure a lot out on your own—and you've kept going.
That's what the Maverick - Colorado Springs Scholarship is about. A maverick makes their own way, often without much help along the path. If your record understates who you are, this scholarship is an opportunity to share the experiences, determination, and potential behind it.
Low-income high school seniors who reside in Colorado Springs, Colorado, are eligible to apply.
To apply, write an essay about how your circumstances at home, financially, or otherwise have shaped your high school years or affected your grades. Share what you're working toward and a time when you pushed yourself or kept going through a challenge.
