Pinnacol Assurance

We know that when a parent is seriously injured in an accident, life suddenly becomes a lot harder for the whole family. That’s why we created our scholarship program — to ensure that despite things beyond your control, you still have an opportunity to pursue your academic goals.
Pinnacol Foundation scholarships may be used for four-year, two-year or trade programs at accredited colleges, universities, community colleges and vocational schools. They average $4,700 per student per year, and may only be used for the costs of attending school.

Eligibility:
Be the natural child, adopted child, stepchild or full dependent of a worker who was injured or killed in a compensable work-related accident during the course and scope of employment with a Colorado-based employer and was entitled to receive benefits under the Colorado Workers’ Compensation Act. It doesn’t matter which insurance company covered your parent’s claim.
Be between the ages of 16 and 25 at the time of the application deadline
Have and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher
Have a high school diploma or GED, or be a high school senior
