The FLC Colorado Equity Scholarship
For first-year and transfer students
The FLC Colorado Equity Scholarship offers financial support to Colorado residents who are traditionally underrepresented in higher education. Through this scholarship, Fort Lewis College reaffirms its commitment to helping students achieve their academic goals and reduce financial barriers along the way.
Recipients receive a total of $8,000, awarded in $2,000 increments over four years. The scholarship is available to degree-seeking undergraduates who maintain full-time status and a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Unlike merit-based tuition scholarships, this award can be combined with other forms of institutional aid, including the Native American Tuition Waiver.
This scholarship is for students who self-identify as part of one or more underrepresented and underserved groups in higher education on account of race, ethnicity, indigeneity, language, sexuality, gender, ability, religion, immigration status, and/or other dimensions.
To be eligible for this scholarship you must:
You'll need to answer three questions. We encourage you to prepare your responses before starting the application. Each answer should be 200 to 300 words in length.
The award committee may consider financial need and information from your application for admission when considering your application.
The priority deadline is February 1.
