Grant Overview
Colorado's high school students face significant cost constraints when it comes to participating in outdoor education programs focused on environmental science. The average cost of such programs is around $1,500 per student, which can be prohibitive for many families. According to the Colorado Department of Education, only 22% of students in rural areas participate in outdoor education programs, compared to 45% in urban areas. Who is most affected by these cost constraints? Students from low-income families and those living in rural areas are disproportionately impacted, as they often lack access to financial resources and transportation to outdoor education facilities. The scholarship program for outdoor education in Colorado addresses these cost constraints by providing financial support to eligible students. The scholarships cover up to 75% of program costs, making it more feasible for students to participate. Furthermore, the program prioritizes students from rural areas and those attending schools with limited environmental education resources. Colorado's mountainous terrain and diverse ecosystems make outdoor education a unique and valuable component of the state's educational landscape. Unlike neighboring states, Colorado's scholarship program places a strong emphasis on environmental stewardship and conservation efforts. ## Outdoor Education in Colorado's Rural Schools ## The program also supports partnerships between schools and outdoor education providers, ensuring that programs are tailored to the state's specific environmental needs. ## Assessing Eligibility for Colorado's Outdoor Education Scholarships ## To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate a clear commitment to environmental conservation and a willingness to participate in hands-on learning experiences. Applications are evaluated based on their potential to benefit from the outdoor education experience and their ability to share their knowledge with their communities.
