Daniels Scholars are America’s next generation of leaders, persevering through life’s challenges and committed to making a difference in the world around them. They are independent and entrepreneurial thinkers who are proud of their country and their communities and work hard to improve them. As a Daniels Scholar, the full cost of attendance (COA) is covered at partner schools within Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. If you attend a school outside the 4-state region, you can receive up to $25,000 a year for qualified educational expenses.
