Central Colorado Humanists 2026 Scholarship Program announcement
Central Colorado Humanists Announce 2026 Educational Scholarship Program
Chaffee County, CO — The Central Colorado Humanists are proud to announce the opening of applications for their 2026 Educational Scholarship Program, supporting students who embody humanist values and a commitment to lifelong learning. Rooted in the belief that knowledge grows from science, reason, creativity, and compassion, the Humanists are dedicated to helping local students pursue higher education and expand their understanding of the world.
This year, the Humanists are pleased to introduce an exciting improvement: a new partnership with the Chaffee County Community Foundation (CCCF). Through this collaboration, the Humanists will utilize CCCF’s scholarship platform to streamline the application and scholarship management process, making it easier and more intuitive for students to apply, track requirements, and manage their awards.
CCCF is deeply appreciative of the Humanists’ longstanding generosity and commitment to local students. The launch of CCCF’s new scholarship platform reflects its mission to make it easier for community members to give back in meaningful ways. By providing a centralized, efficient application system, CCCF is honored to support the Humanists in administering their scholarship program—allowing their team to focus on thoughtful applicant review rather than the administrative work of collecting and organizing materials. Scholarship management is a new resource CCCF is making available to all local organizations offering scholarships.
