The Milagros Scholarship Fund offers financial assistance to Latina graduates from Boulder Valley High Schools who have access to scholarships for their post-secondary education. Recipients are awarded scholarships to attend an accredited educational institution on either a full- or part-time basis.

The Milagros Scholarship Fund has built a strong partnership with Zonta Foothills Club of Boulder County which, through their Flatirons Golden Z Club, supports our scholars with mentoring and peer support.

Your Impact 

“I think differently in terms of what my life is going to be about after I graduate. For example, when I first began college I saw the future far away and thought to myself that it would take many years to finish school. Now I feel like I can do anything. I'm close to finishing my Associates; having people help me has given me hope and enthusiasm to finish school.” 

~ Milagros Scholarship Recipient 

"I am so thankful to have received scholarships like Milagros. I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help. You are a big reason I was able to graduate from an institution like CU." 

~ Nancy Contreras

"Here I am holding my first degree. The first in my family to further my education. Thanks to your financial support, you helped me make our dream come true. Thanks to you, I have changed the course of generations to come."

Since the Milagros Fund was launched in 2007, 31 young women, who would never have dreamed of working towards a post-secondary degree, have attended college with the help of Milagros funding. The Milagros Fund scholarships motivate students to graduate from high school and pursue post-secondary opportunities. High school graduation rates for students eligible for the Milagros Fund are close to 100% vs. Boulder Valley School District's overall estimate of 83%. Over 70 % of the recipients are first generation high school graduates and 94% are first generation college attendees.

Through our Zonta Foothills partnership 100% of the recipients have a professional mentor to support them through college and as they explore professional opportunities. Thank you for your support in making miracles come true for these worthy candidates.
