Sisters In Service Scholarship Program

With the cost of higher education rising, and the availability of funds diminishing, the Ladies of Sisters In Service have recognized an opportunity to lend assistance.

It is our endeavor to provide resources to young people who are reaching towards higher educational goals.

Our organization was conceived to provide current Colorado residents ages 17 to 23, with financial assistance towards higher education. These expenses must be related to a college, trade school, or university located within the state of Colorado.
