Sometimes I make no headway asking for help via cold call emails. I get it. So I'll open up some requests via this more open forum here. If you can assist, please do! I run a large car group (75K ppl) in Colorado, called Colorado Cars & Coffee, and this year we kicked off a scholarship for auto program students. We are starting small but hope to grow, but have $1000 for this first year. We'd like to give away 2 scholarships of $500 this calendar year. I wanted to reach out to you for some help or advice. Could you help provide some guidance, or point us to the right points of contact on how to administer this and find deserving students? I am working on the application process, but if you had examples or guidelines, that would be very helpful. We are new at this. Currently, we are focused on Colorado based auto programs. Details on our scholarship: Announcing the brand new CSM Timothy Bolyard Automotive Program Scholarship! Colorado Cars & Coffee has started a new scholarship for Colorado based automotive program students, and we'd love for you to get involved! This new scholarship honors Command Sgt. Major Timothy Bolyard, U.S. Army, who lost his life in Afghanistan serving our country. CSM Bolyard was Father to Preston, one of our photographers on the SHIFT Colorado Magazine team. CSM Bolyard strongly believed in furthering one's education to help reach their full potential. He also loved cars, enjoying car shows now and again but his life was cut too short. Our Year One goal for the CSM Timothy Bolyard Scholarship, brought to you by Colorado Cars & Coffee, is to give away two $500 scholarships to deserving students. All funds that come in will go to the students, with full transparency, and an accounting report upon request. Applicant students will submit a short essay of why they are deserving, and the C&C admin team, along with Preston, will select the winner(s). Not restricted to one Colorado school, the program must be automotive in nature, and the student must be verified in good standing. We have an initial eight sponsors joining our ranks supporting this scholarship with monthly donations, they are Hail Medic, Camaro's Plus, Lowry Insurance, Plus Five Horsepower, Oakmont Law, Community West Mortgage, Elite Roofing & Solar and Road Home Exteriors. We want to leverage the power of our large group with small donations to power the funds needed to make this happen. We have started a Ko-fi tier for interested C&C members to participate, asking for $4 per month. Of course, you may donate more, but we wanted to make it accessible to as many as possible. Our car community in Colorado is awesome, and with your contribution, you will make a positive difference in the life of a local automotive student.
