Welcome, Reisher Scholars!
You’re at a powerful point in your college journey, the stretch where support can make the difference between “almost” and “accomplished!" Reisher Scholars are Colorado residents midway through their degree (rising sophomores or community-college transfers) who earn substantial merit-and-need-based scholarships. Through First-Gen+, you’ll find support, planning, and connection to help you finish your four-year degree strong!
