Puksta Scholars

The Puksta Foundation provides scholarships, mentorship, and experiential community engagement for Colorado undergraduates. Each year, a new cohort of scholars who exhibit a strong commitment to service and civic responsibility are selected to join the Puksta Scholar Program. Scholars participate in a rigorous and rewarding two-year program designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to become catalysts for lasting positive change in the community.

Puksta Scholars receive a $3500 scholarship per academic year (disbursed in two equal installments of $1750 in the fall and spring semesters). Students admitted to the program are eligible to continue their funding for a defined number of semesters depending upon their progress and their class status at the time of admission.
