Referral Agencies

Daniels Fund Referral Agencies
The Daniels Fund has established partnerships with more than 1,000 Referral Agencies -- from youth serving organizations, to high schools, to college prep programs -- to be responsible for nominating students. Because these agencies are rooted in the communities they serve across Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, they offer an excellent avenue for finding deserving candidates for the Daniels Scholarship.

Referral Agency Information Sessions
Referral Agencies are invited to take part in training sessions scheduled in local communities across our four-state region. For a listing of the training sessions, and to register online, please visit Referral Agency Information Sessions.

The following information is designed to be helpful to Referral Agencies in fulfilling their important responsibilities in nominating students for the Daniels Scholarship.
