Home - Pueblo Hispanic Education Foundations

Scholarships have been awarded for the 2022-2023 Academic Year.

If you did not receive an award letter from PHEF you were not selected to receive a scholarship.

The most common reasons an award was not granted include:

Not Completing and Submitting the Application
The Blind Scoring Value was too Low
The Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) was too high
Non-qualifying Cumulative GPA
Some other non-qualifying criteria specific to the individual scholarship

You are more than welcome to apply again in any future open application windows, taking into consideration the criteria above. We encourage you to follow us on social media; Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn for up to date announcements from PHEF on opportunities for funding or programming.

We wish you the best of luck in all your academic endeavors.

Sincerely,

The Staff and Board of Directors of the Pueblo Hispanic Education Foundation

PHEF and the Pueblo County Scholarship Fund continue to work with the

Colorado Department of Higher Education through the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI).

Complete the scholarship application to see if you qualify.

Volunteer Opportunities

PHEF recognizes the Pueblo Community as the driving force in supporting scholarships for students.

As part of the 'pay it forward' culture, we ask each scholarship recipient to provide 40 hours of community service when awarded a scholarship.

Students in the 2021-2022 Academic Year provided over 17,000 hours of community service, not only in Pueblo's community

but in the communities across the state of Colorado and nationally where students are attending colleges and universities.

Students are volunteering in food banks, nursing homes, youth centers, YMCA's, & religious organizations;

they are writing letters to service men and women serving our country, sick children in hospital care and the elderly living in retirement and nursing care facilities;

they are collecting food and clothing for the poor and fundraising for other worthy causes.

PHEF scholars are going above and beyond to support the community that supports them.
