Meet the 44 remarkable women who have been awarded CWEF scholarships for fall 2024.

Congratulations to the resilient women we celebrate and support with Scholarships in our latest cohort. Thanks to your support and the collective efforts of our donors, we awarded scholarships to 44 deserving women, totaling an incredible $148,000!​

​

Even more exciting, through strategic partnerships and matching funds, every $1 you contributed was multiplied to $1.50—amplifying the impact of your donation and directly enhancing the educational opportunities for women in need. 

​

Here’s a snapshot of the remarkable women who were awarded scholarships this year:

• 64% are first-generation students, breaking the cycle of limited access to higher education.

• 48% are single mothers, overcoming significant obstacles to build brighter futures for their families.

• 63% are women of color, reflecting the diverse communities we serve.

• 18% are repeat scholarship recipients, a testament to their persistence and the ongoing support that is helping them succeed.

 

Additionally, we are proud to have reached a broad range of communities, with 15 Colorado counties represented among our recipients. As always, we focus on supporting non-traditional students, and this year’s cohort has an average age of 35, underscoring our commitment to serving women at all stages of life.
