Amount	The money is distributed in “block” grants to specific colleges and universities, both two- and four-year, in Colorado, New Mexico Utah and Wyoming. The institutions then convert the funding into scholarships and distribute it directly to students. Please note that the institutions themselves allocate the funding and the Daniels Fund is in no way involved in identifying specific students who will receive the scholarships.
Geographic Coverage	Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming
Eligibility	All candidates must show clear financial need, be nominated by an approved Daniels Fund Referral Agency and go through an application process where they are evaluated on strength of character, academic promise, leadership potential, potential to contribute to one’s community and well-rounded personality. Must be a current resident of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, or Wyoming.
