Local Change scholarships include consideration of an applicant's financial need. While all may apply, please be aware that priority will go to students with the greatest financial need. We accept the Colorado Application for State Financial Aid (CASFA) in place of the FAFSA from students with DACA status. Applicants will automatically be considered for all scholarships for which they are eligible.
