Blue Star Scholarship 

The Front Range Community College Foundation has received a generous grant in the amount of $25,000 from the McKee Foundation for their Blue Star Scholarship.  As result of this grant, the FRCC Foundation is providing matching COSI (Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative) funding to allow us to award a total of $50,000 to students.

Scholarship due dates:

*Completing a FAFSA does not require you to accept any loans or grants offered and will not affect your GI Bill

How will I receive my scholarship funds if I am selected? 

  • Funds will be deposited into your student account and applied toward any outstanding balance. If remaining funds are available, a refund will be issued to the student.
