Bill Daniels, a pioneer in cable television known for his kindness and generosity to those in need, established the Daniels Fund to provide grants and scholarships in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Upon his death in 2000, his estate transferred to the Daniels Fund, making it one of the largest foundations in the Rocky Mountains.
Each year, approximately 250 new Daniels Scholars are selected from among thousands who apply. They go through a rigorous application, interview, and selection process. The reward of being selected for the program is the opportunity to obtain a four-year college education at any nonprofit accredited college or university in the United States, complete with financial and personal support throughout the college journey.
Motivated college-bound high school seniors in Colorado are encouraged to visit the Daniels Fund website – www.DanielsFund.org/Apply – for more information or to apply online for the Daniels Scholarship Program. The application deadline is Nov. 15, 2013.
