The Mapleton Education Foundation funds many scholarships for the students of Mapleton Public Schools. The Rising Star Scholarship addresses the needs of one particular set of students whose GPA may not qualify them for a grant.

Sometimes, a student enters school with a host of problems beyond their control. Family struggles, incarceration of a parent, mental health issues - all can lead to poor performance early in a high school career. Even bouncing back later may not be enough to improve the GPA to allow for a scholarship application.

For this reason, Dwaine and I created the Rising Star Scholarship. This is specifically for students who may have performed poorly as freshmen or sophomores, but who have shown the drive and ability to turn their school career around significantly as juniors and seniors.

The scholarship has been active for many years now, and has funded students to schools all over Colorado, including trade schools. Assisting these students opens doors that may have remained closed to them forever.

Please consider a gift to the Rising Star Scholarship and help these worthy students continue on their path to success.
