Dragon's Scholar - GTC Study Abroad
A nonprofit fundraiser supporting
Front Range Community College FoundationWe're fundraising to cover airfare and extra costs for our Dragon's Scholar study abroad trip.
$600

$2,000 goal
Gateway to College partners with the study abroad organization, Where There Be Dragons (WTBD). Each summer, WTBD supports one GTC student to travel on one of their 2-6 week summer programs. While WTBD helps fund and subsidize the program cost for the Dragon's Scholar (worth up to $12,000), we work to make sure this trip is not cost prohibitive for the selected student and try to cover the airfare, gear and partial program costs. This scholarship is specifically targeted to students that would otherwise not be financially able to travel abroad.
Thus far, Gateway has seen students travel to Peru, Morocco, Senegal (x2), and Guatemala. This is an invaluable experience for students, not only impacting their lifetimes but also impacting the Gateway community upon their return.
Please send deep gratitude to the amazing, Boulder based, Where There Be Dragon's Dragon's organization. These opportunities are supported by Dragons and Dragons’ funders, making these trips accessible to students that might not otherwise venture down these paths.
We'll be announcing our 2026 Dragon's Scholar right before Winter Break, so be on the lookout!
