The program seeks to help promising Colorado students earn their undergraduate degrees without incurring additional educational debt. The Reisher Scholars Program is unique in that it focuses on rising college sophomores and transfer students from community colleges who have already demonstrated academic and leadership skills as undergraduates.<\/p><p>The program was established in 2001 by the Reisher family. Roger and Margaret Reisher came from modest means and were the first in their families to attend and graduate from college. Appreciating how much their education impacted their lives and success in the banking industry, the Reishers established the program to help fill a gap in Colorado student financial aid. While many scholarships help students get started on their college journey, the Reisher Scholarship is designed to help provide students with the financial means to complete their undergraduate degree.<\/p><p>Currently nine Colorado public universities partner with the Reisher Scholars Program. Students who have completed their freshman year at a partner university or who are transferring into one of the universities from community colleges for their junior year may apply. Applicants must meet a variety of eligibility requirements, including a G.P.A. of 3.0 or better, demonstrated financial need and involvement in service activities.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight )\">The Reisher Scholars Program began at CSU in the fall of 2012 with the mission to provide educational opportunities for promising Colorado undergraduate students. Scholars are highly motivated, goal-oriented, responsible, and\/or likely to make a contribution to society as evidenced by community service, leadership activities, work experience, or unusual experience.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight )\">Reisher Scholar awards are range from $6,000 to $22,000 per year and is determined by completion of the FAFSA and the subsequent unmet need. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight )\">Awards are renewable if the scholar meets the program requirements.<\/span><\/p><p>The Reisher Scholars Program continues to
