The Daniels Scholarship Program offers a comprehensive, four-year college scholarship that provides financial and personal support focused on helping Daniels Scholars succeed in college, and in life. The Daniels Scholarship can be used at any accredited nonprofit college or university in the United States. Our goal is not only to help Daniels Scholars succeed in college, but to ensure that they thrive beyond their years in college.

To be eligible for the Daniels Scholarship Program, students must meet the following requirements at the time of application:

• Be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States

• Be a resident of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, or Wyoming

• Be a high school senior graduating from a school in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, or Wyoming

• Earn a minimum SAT Math score of 490 and a minimum Evidence-Based Reading & Writing score of 490 or a minimum ACT score of 18 in each category (writing score not required). Super scoring is not accepted.

• Earn a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.0 in high school (on an unweighted 4.0 scale)
