Concurrent College Enrollment and Vocational Scholarships for Colorado Students
Investing in the Future of Colorado Students
Unlocking Educational Opportunities Through Financial Support
The Craig & Rhonda Williams Feeding Dreams Foundation is committed to creating pathways that empower young people to thrive—academically, personally, and professionally. As part of this mission, the Foundation will offer scholarships specifically designed for alternative education students in Colorado, ensuring they have equitable access to advanced learning opportunities.
Through this scholarship program, students will receive financial support for concurrent enrollment programs, allowing them to participate in college-level courses, technical and trade school coursework, career and technical education (CTE) classes, or industry certification/apprenticeship programs. Eligible students must be currently enrolled in, or have graduated within the past 12 months from, an approved Colorado alternative education program. These scholarships will help cover tuition, fees, course materials, tools, equipment, and other expenses that often create barriers for students seeking to further their education.
If you demonstrate academic achievement, we encourage you to apply. This is more than just financial support; it’s an investment in your dreams. Scroll down to
