The Daniels Scholarship Program helps make college possible for motivated students. Daniels Scholars are selected because they embody the criteria Bill Daniels defined for the program: Strength of character, Leadership potential, Commitment to serving their communities, Academic performance or promise, Well-rounded personality, and Emotional maturity and stability. To be eligible, students must be a graduating high school senior and be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States. They must earn a minimum SAT Math score of 490 and a minimum Evidence-Based Reading and Writing score of 490, or a minimum ACT score of 18 in each category (writing score not required). As a Daniels Scholar, the full cost of attendance is covered at partner schools within Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. If the student attends a school outside those four states, they can receive up to $25,000 a year for qualified educational expenses. Applications must be submitted between September 15 and October 15, 2023. Applicants invited to participate in the Semi-Finalist phase will be asked to submit essay question responses and letters of recommendation between October 20 and November 15, 2023. All Semi-Finalists will be notified in January whether or not they have been selected as a finalist, and finalists will be invited to participate in a personal interview from February 6 to March 7, 2024.
