Denver Foundation marks 25th year of Reisher scholarships with $25M boost to 27 schools

The Denver Foundation has announced a $25 million grant initiative through the Reisher Family Scholarship Fund to support current and future Reisher Scholars Program partner colleges and universities across Colorado. The awards are directed to general scholarship funds as the program marks its 25th anniversary, and is in addition to the program’s regular $13 million in annual funding. The grants aim to expand college access, strengthen institutional partnerships, and inform future scholarship strategies. The funding distributed to 27 schools, including the University of Colorado Denver–which received $3.25 million–must be used within two years.
