John Gold PreCollegiate Program

The John Gold PreCollegiate Program, administered by the Aspen Community Foundation, provides financial assistance to students transitioning into or continuing their higher education. This scholarship is specifically designed for graduates of the Roaring Fork PreCollegiate program who attended Basalt, Roaring Fork, or Glenwood Springs high schools. Eligible candidates can receive awards ranging from $500 – $1,500 each, and the funding is renewable for subsequent years of college.

To apply, students must register an account on the Aspen Community Foundation scholarship portal using a personal email address. Applicants complete a universal application online before submitting specific forms for this program. While the foundation evaluates financial need as part of its general scholarship process, applicants should also complete the FAFSA or state financial aid applications to document their financial situation.
