Each year many Colorado Academy Seniors are awarded merit scholarships at the institutions to which they apply. In most cases, their awards are not based on additional scholarship applications but awarded based solely on their application for admission. In addition, some students apply for outside scholarships, often through local or national foundations, which if they are awarded can be applied to any institution they choose to attend. Below is a summary of the merit scholarships that have been reported by students and parents to the College Office by the Class of 2020. 

The awards listed here are only those that students will be using at the college at which they enrolled.  Please note that many more merit scholarships were awarded to CA Seniors at institutions which they chose not to attend. Join us in our heartfelt congratulations to all of these Seniors for their recognized achievements!
