Pinnacol Foundation Scholarship Program

The Pinnacol Foundation provides scholarships to students whose parents have suffered a severe injury or lost their life in a workplace accident in Colorado, regardless of the insurance carrier involved in the claim. Awards range from $1,500 to $7,500 per year and may be used for tuition, fees, and other educational expenses. This scholarship is renewable each year as long as the recipient remains in good academic standing. The application cycle opens annually on November 1 and closes February 15 for the following academic year. Interested students must apply directly through the Pinnacol Foundation website.
