DENVER GROUP LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIPS

The Denver Group Leadership Scholarship is a program to invest in our Denver Group volunteer trip leaders, school directors, and senior school instructors Our volunteers share their time, expertise, and passion with our members. The Denver Group Leadership Scholarship supports their efforts by providing scholarships for trainings that further their education and skill development.

The Denver Group Leadership Scholarship program has been established in order to demonstrate appreciation to our volunteers and to provide a financial benefit to qualifying Denver Group volunteers for their continued efforts on behalf of all Denver Group members and CMC.

These scholarships are available for all Denver Group School’s volunteer taught courses/classes. Please note that Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is not a Denver Group taught course and that the primary source for WFA scholarships is through the "Eckert Roder Leadership Scholarship” program.
