Help Us Make College Possible

What does DSF do?

Denver Scholarship Foundation (DSF) is a nonprofit helping to make college possible and building the educational and economic future of Denver by collaborating with Denver Public Schools (DPS) high school students, families, and partners statewide to increase access and completion of post-high school learning, while also expanding generational exposure to career and entrepreneurial opportunities. 

Your support of DSF helps make college possible for thousands of Denver students. Meet DSF donor and Alum Carlos Cantor, who started his educational journey at John F. Kennedy High School and then graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder. His story highlights how the DSF support he received during his educational journey has inspired him to give back to DSF, creating a ripple effect of impact that continues to benefit the Denver community and thousands of students.   

Watch Carlos’ journey and how he continues to invest in DSF’s future below.  

Whether Denver students are pursuing post-high school learning at CU Boulder like Carlos, or at any of DSF’s 30 college partners across the state, DSF Scholars rely on the support of community members like you for the scholarships and wrap-around services DSF provides.

Every dollar you donate to DSF before December 31 will be doubled up to $75,000 thanks to a generous match from the Herbert and Judy Paige Family Foundation. 

The best time to support students and DSF Scholars is now. A gift to DSF is an investment in the successful future of thousands of Denver Public Schools (DPS) students and their families. Make a difference by giving today!
