Lorii Rabinowitz

Chief Executive Officer

Dear Friends,Thank you for your continued support of Denver Scholarship Foundation (DSF)! Our Scholars, Alumni, Board of Directors, and Staff are incredibly grateful for your dedication to our mission and programming. DSF has changed the life trajectory of more than 6,300 Scholars since its founding in 2006. Our strategic investment in the community has provided $36 million in scholarships to graduates of Denver Public Schools who are enrolled in Colorado’s universities, colleges, and technical schools. With a unique approach that provides college counseling and support services beginning in high school and extending through college completion, DSF’s Scholars persist until graduation at an impressive rate of 76%. As the new Chief Executive Officer, I am humbled by the generosity provided by donors like you. Together, we are supporting DPS students on their journeys to and through college graduation. DSF launched with a simple yet vital directive to make higher education possible for students whose circumstances would otherwise hold them back. Our multi-faceted programming offers the promise of our scholarship as an incentive for students to challenge themselves to reach for goals beyond high school. Our Scholars are our promise to Denver. We work one-on-one with high school students in our Future Centers to help match them to the best educational opportunities available in Colorado. We leverage our scholarship dollars to influence additional support from government and community partners. In addition, our statewide College Partners work with us to ensure success by providing financial, academic, and social support to help students navigate their college roadmaps. The leverage you provide makes these arrangements possible and powerful. Your dedication is the action that collectively moves us closer to our mission of providing the tools, knowledge, and financial resources essential for success. On behalf of DSF, our Scholars, and our Alumni, thank you for making College Possible!

Thank you,

Our MissionThe Denver Scholarship Foundation inspires and empowers Denver Public Schools’ students to enroll in and graduate from postsecondary institutions of higher education, by providing the tools, knowledge, and financial resources essential for success.
