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