Scholarships for Chaffee Students
CCCF is honored to partner with the Central Colorado Humanists to connect students with college scholarships.
The Central Colorado Humanists are planning to award one or more scholarship/s in the spring of 2026 to local high school seniors planning to further their education in the fall of 2026. Students in non-traditional schools or who are home-schooled are also eligible. Successful applicants will be eligible to apply for an additional scholarship award in their freshman year of college to help meet expenses during their sophomore year.
Humanists seek knowledge from science, guidance from reason, inspiration from nature and art, and motivation from compassion. We are pleased to be able to offer educational scholarships to students who demonstrate, personify, and aspire to uphold these humanist values.
