SCHOLARSHIPS
We have supported thousands of Black Coloradans by removing financial barriers to higher education through the Sachs Foundation Scholarship Program. Undergraduate and Graduate Scholarship applications open online January 1st through March 15th of each year. Undergraduate Scholarships are open to any Colorado high school senior who identifies as Black. Graduate Scholarships are open to any previous Sachs Scholar that graduated within the last three years.
MENTORSHIP
The Elevated Program seeks to empower Black youth and their families by providing mentorships, equitable opportunities and collegiate access for 8th-12th graders to succeed in higher education and beyond.
TEACHER DEVELOPMENT
Our partnerships with Teach For America and Colorado College help us address the issue of representation in Colorado Schools. This initiative of the Sachs Foundation aims to increase the number of African American teachers serving in Colorado, specifically in schools with large Black student populations.
