Each year, Denver Scholarship Foundation's Associate Board comes together to support DSF through Colorado Gives Day. Learn more about why we support DSF with our time, leadership and resources below.
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 Denver students like Dehrian Ramirez. Dehrian’s college journey began in the DSF Future Center at Abraham Lincoln High School working closely with his DSF College Advisor to navigate admissions questions, college essays, and scholarship applications. Supported by the DSF Scholarship and by the additional wrap-around services that all DSF Scholars receive, Dehrian graduated from the University of Denver. The DSF community continues to be present in his life today as he continues to grow his career as the Lead Graphic Designer at a local branding agency.
Watch the impact of DSF on Dehrian and his family below.
“Going from a student in the DSF Future Center to a DSF Alum and now beginning my career as a DSF Campus Advisor has been a full circle experience. DSF allowed me to see college as a possibility and helped take away a lot of the uneasiness, doubt, barriers, and challenges. Without DSF, I wouldn't have been prepared. Starting at the DSF Future Center and then continuing forward set me up for life-long success.”
