This scholarship provides opportunity and encouragement to pursue continued education for youth with financial need who have participated in Partners programs.

The HKCS is Colorado’s widely-administered survey on the health and well-being of young people and school health policies and practices that support youth health. The HKCS takes place every odd year, and all schools in our service region (Routt, Moffat and Grand) participate in the survey. This local data gives us a better understanding of the specific Risk and Protective Factors that our youth are facing.
