The Denver-based Daniels Fund has announced its 2022 class of Daniels Scholarship Program recipients.

The latest cohort of Daniels Scholars includes 240 high school seniors from Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. This year, 130 students from Colorado will receive scholarships, while 45 were selected from Wyoming, 34 from Utah, and 31 from New Mexico. Since 2000, the Daniels Fund has committed more than $235 million in scholarships through the program.

Daniels Scholars receive up to $100,000 over four years toward their undergraduate degree, depending on family need, and may use their scholarship at any accredited nonprofit college or university in the United States. Funds may be applied to expenses not covered by other scholarship funds, financial aid, and the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Scholars are chosen for their strength of character, leadership potential, and a commitment to serving the community that will position them for success. 

“These students have incredible grit and drive, embody the values that guided Bill Daniels’ life, and are poised to do great things. It’s an honor to carry on Bill Daniels’ legacy of giving by supporting these outstanding young people’s educations,” said Daniels Fund president and CEO Hanna Skandera. “We can’t wait to see their success and the long-term impacts they make with this opportunity.”
