In our first year (2023-2024) the P.E.O. Chapter GP Scholarship is supporting two students at Community College of Denver, and we hope to continue to support many more students in the years to come.

"It is a blessing to have the support of other women who have initially 
led the pathway for us to reach this point and to go further."
