Scholarships

A Scholarship is an award given to a student who meets certain requirements. The requirements are based on specific criteria including: merit-based, need-based, affiliation with a specific group, community service, specific majors, or religion. Receiving scholarships from organizations other than the government and Cherry Creek High School can affect your financial aid package. Your scholarship dollars may replace financial aid package dollars, but that doesn't mean you will have to pay a larger sum. 

Cherry Creek Scholarship List

The Cherry Creek High School Scholarship list is compiled of some national and local scholarships promoted by Creek. Please check out the active Scholarships on your Family Connection by​​ Naviance. New Scholarships are added often throughout the year! 

Additional Scholarship Opportunities

The additional Scholarship Opportunities List is a great external resource for scholarships that can be used AT ANY COLLEGE even though it is a resource provided by CU Boulder.
