Colorado has a lot to offer students, with first-rate skiing on snow-covered mountains, as well as other outdoor and winter sports, but did you know that residents can earn free money for college, too? Scholarships for Colorado students offer awards to help pay for tuition, fees, books, and more. Featuring stunning places such as Pikes Peak, the Rocky Mountains, and a city that is a mile above sea level, Colorado is also home to great schools such as the University of Colorado at Boulder, University of Denver (DU), and the Air Force Academy (USAFA). If you’re a student looking to attend a school in your home state of Colorado, aim high with your college savings.

Rebecca was a passionate, bright, fun-loving young woman who loved being with her friends and felt that no one should miss a high school event because they couldn’t afford to be there. She saw the inequity in the situation and sought to change things. During the Spring of her sophomore year, Becca singlehandedly collected and donated over 250 formal dresses and helped hundreds of girls across South Florida attend their High School proms in style.
To keep Becca’s dream alive, countless dedicated people throughout the United States have joined forces to provide opportunities for those who seek them. Although the core mission of Becca’s Closet, located in the Festival Marketplace in Pompano Beach, FL, was to collect and distribute dresses to high school girls with financial need, our goals have expanded to offer additional opportunities for deserving young people. In the spirit of Rebecca’s visions and aspirations, our foundation raises funds to award post-secondary educational scholarships recognizing the exemplary efforts of young men and women nationwide who demonstrate Becca’s spirit of generosity in their own communities.
