Postsecondary education is necessary for economic mobility and civic engagement. However, students often choose not to pursue or do not complete postsecondary education if minimum economic viability conditions are not satisfied (“Colorado’s Strategic Plan for Higher Education”). Prosperity Denver Fund, a sales tax initiative funded by Denver voters since 2019, increases the number of historically underserved Denver students who access scholarships, complete a postsecondary degree, and strengthen the local economy.

“If the plan doesn’t work, change the plan but never the goal.” Our ACE scholars know what it means to adapt and pivot when life throws them curveballs. Our students are prepared to accomplish and exceed their goals even in the face of hardship. That is what will make them great future leaders! #scholarships #scholarship #education #scholarshipopportunities #student #students #schoolchoice #school #privateschool #privateschoolchoice #scholarshipstudents #scholarshipinfo #scholarshipstudent #k-12 #scholarshipprogram #k12education #k12schools #privateschools #privateschoollife #parents #nonprofit #nonprofits #nonprofitorganization #schoolparents

“Even with the extra funding next year, concerns remain about the rising tuition burdens on students, especially because Colorado students pay more on average than students at peer universities in other states.” The budget proposal includes funding for college/university operations and student financial aid. The proposal also includes a cap for tuition increases—up to 3% for in-state undergrads and no more than 4% for out-of-state undergrads. Making postsecondary education more affordable and accessible is necessary in prioritizing inclusive pathways for Colorado students.

Every educator, regardless of background, adds something unique to the classroom. Let us give educators credit for their abilities and passion, not only their ethnicity. That is how we will build a truly inclusive and equitable education system that benefits everyone. Quote from: Griffin, Ashley. (2018).

According to the report released by the State of Colorado, “Colorado’s Strategic Plan for Higher Education: Building Skills for an Evolving Economy,” living wages for families in Colorado inevitably require postsecondary education. Despite the high demand, approximately 53% of Colorado high school graduates will not earn a postsecondary credential. However, students are more likely to pursue postsecondary education when financial support is available. Prosperity Denver Fund believes education is the foundation of a strong economy. We partner with Denver-based nonprofit scholarship providers to support affordable postsecondary opportunities.
