DSF's Partnership with CSU Pueblo

The partnership provides a strong support network for student success through student participation in the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI) program.

CSU Pueblo's first DSF Graduate

Jazmine Wells
"Attending Colorado State University Pueblo was my first choice when considering what school I would like to pursue my college career, and I still believe it to be my best choice. The moment I started classes at CSU Pueblo I began to grow. I found myself in the skills, professionalism, and knowledge I was presented with. The faculty and staff at CSU Pueblo continuously awarded me with great opportunities, and wanting to give back to my school I continuously accepted them. When Joseph Marshall offered me a position with the Denver Scholarship Foundation I knew it was one door I could not allow to close. The Denver Scholarship Foundation not only provided me with a reliable, and helpful scholarship, but they provided me with a job. I fell in love with my position as a Peer Tutor-Mentor; it became a part of who I am because it was created for students who are like me. Among many other things DSF also offers support financially, mentally, and more than anything genuinely. As a recipient of the Denver Scholarship I never had to stress over my finances and was able to focus more on my education. I was also able to reach out to other students and be a great role model. I owe my current success as an early graduate and my future success as a graduate student to CSU Pueblo and The Denver Scholarship Foundation."
