Fuel Their Future

Coming in April 2026

A night to celebrate student achievement and the community that makes it possible.

About Fuel Their Future

Every scholarship tells a story of effort, hope, and community support. Fuel Their Future is a new celebration and fundraiser from the Clear Creek Schools Foundation, focused on sustaining need-based post-secondary scholarships that help more students pursue college and career training with less financial strain. This event will bring together alumni, families, and local partners to strengthen the resources that make higher education possible for Clear Creek graduates.

Why It Matters 

Education is one of the most powerful ways a community invests in its own future. Post-secondary training opens doors to stable careers and lifelong opportunity—but for many students, cost remains the greatest barrier. Through Fuel Their Future, CCSF is building community-based support to keep scholarships strong and accessible. The result: more graduates able to continue their learning, stay on track toward meaningful work, and bring their skills back to benefit Clear Creek County. It represents the stage when the promise of education depends most on the resources available to sustain it — and on the lasting impact those opportunities create.

Scholarships That Change Lives 

Since launching its scholarship programs, the Clear Creek Schools Foundation has invested more than $230,000 in opportunities for local students pursuing higher education and career-focused training. Roughly fifteen percent of each graduating class receives direct post-secondary support through these scholarships. 

“The Discovery Scholarship changed my life. I could focus on school—not money—and now I’m about to graduate with barely any debt.” — Veterinary Tech Student, Colorado Mountain College

“This scholarship gave me the freedom to study what I love, do well in school, and live in a place that inspires me.” — Fire Sciences Student, Colorado Mountain College

While CCSF also supports early learning and experiential programs, Fuel their Future centers on post-secondary success—the step where financial strain too often limits possibility and potential.
