This is Who We Serve

---

Those interested in applying must have completed Financial IQ Classes within 12 months from the date of application. If a student hasn't then they must take the Basics 101 class online or in person prior to applying.  Here are the other eligibility requirements:

• Be age 18 or older
• Currently enrolled in a post high school institution for education/skills [college, university, trade or vocational school]
• Be a legal citizen [verification required]
• Have completed at least 1 semester/term in the post high school curriculum with a B average or better

Simply send an email to us or contact us through this website requesting an application.  We will reach back out with an application.

Financial Literacy First is registered with certain local schools such as Denver Community College, Pickens and Aurora Community College.  Check with your financial aid department to determine if you can apply directly through them.  Some additional requirements may still apply such as an interview.

We will award at least $1,000 to a maximum of $3,000 to any student per a 12 month period.  Thus the same awardee can reapply up to 3 times for scholarship funds.

If you have already received scholarship funds once, you are eligible to re-apply at anytime.  When you re-apply you must provide evidence that you are in the process of being financially successful.  This may include a new application and interview with the Board of Directors.

Typically we want to see a budget and your credit score for a 3 month period.  You can re-apply within the same 12 month period of your initial award. Maximum scholarship per student is $3,000.

Here are the basic steps to getting awarded:

• Complete Financial IQ Class or Basics 101
• Submit an application
• Get interviewed by our Board of Directors
• We will notify you of your approval or denial
• If approved, we will apply funds directly to your student account. This process typically takes less than 30 days.
