Scholarship Summary
Scholarships to support local students with financial need in their pursuit of post-secondary education.
About the Fund
Yampa Tuition Grants (YTG) was founded in 2022 with the belief that all Routt County and Moffat County high school graduates should have the opportunity to continue their education beyond high school, regardless of financial circumstances. YTG provides need-based grants for accredited undergraduate and vocational schools.
YTG uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Colorado Application for State Financial Aid (CASFA) metric to calculate a prospective recipient’s need-based qualification.
Unlike many aid programs, YTG is not for freshman year only. Local students are invited to apply for grants as long as they are enrolled in an accredited undergraduate, community college, vocational or trade school.
Funding comes 100% from donors. Please join in supporting the mission!
