For students across Fruita CO and Grand Junction, the path to higher education often comes with financial and emotional hurdles. Recognizing this challenge, Cory Thompson created his scholarship fund with one mission: to open doors for students who are ready to lead, serve, and grow.
Building Bridges Through Education
The Cory Thompson Scholarship Fund focuses on supporting student-athletes and high school graduates who demonstrate a strong commitment to community and personal development. Cory’s deep ties to Grand Junction CO and Fruita CO inspired him to give back by helping others reach their full potential.
The scholarship is designed to be more than just financial aid — it’s a statement of belief in the next generation of leaders. You can learn more about Cory’s journey and scholarship vision on the About page.
Why Local Scholarships Matter
National awards are competitive and often impersonal. What makes Cory’s scholarship different is its local focus. Students from the Western Slope of Colorado benefit not only from financial support but also from mentorship and connection to the community that raised them.
On the Scholarship Details page, applicants can review requirements and explore how Cory is using this initiative to promote long-term educational success in Fruita and Grand Junction.
