Since 2003

Supporting Highlands Ranch High School Seniors

Created in 2003, the Highlands Ranch Community Scholarship Fund (HRCSF), a 501(c)3 organization, is in its 21st year of providing postsecondary education scholarships to Highlands Ranch students who have demonstrated well-rounded participation in their school or community through volunteerism and service hours. 

Previously, 20 scholarships were awarded to select applicants. In January 2024, the HRCA Board of Directors approved five additional scholarship awards for a total of 25 $2,500 scholarships to be granted to Highlands Ranch high school seniors.

All scholarship awards are granted on an equal opportunity basis, and we encourage all Highlands Ranch seniors to apply today.
