Kirsten L. Tool Memorial Scholarship

The Kirsten L. Tool Memorial Scholarship, provided by the NoCo Foundation, supports cadets in the AFROTC DET90 program at either Colorado State University or the University of Northern Colorado. To qualify, applicants must be rising 300 or 400 cadets. This means they must be current sophomores or juniors who will enter their junior or senior year in the Air Force ROTC program during the upcoming fall term.

The program provides a one-time award of $2,500 to help cover the cost of attendance. Funds are paid directly to the recipient's university for use in the upcoming academic year, and disbursement is subject to the outside scholarship policies of the student's institution. While this program is not directly tied to the FAFSA or state financial aid applications, students should check with their university's financial aid office regarding how outside awards impact their overall aid package. See the official page for current dates and deadlines.
