Cory Thompson, a proud son of Fruita CO, understands the power of investing in young people. That’s why he created a scholarship fund that goes beyond financial aid — it builds confidence, opens doors, and helps students in Grand Junction CO and beyond take the next big step.
Helping Local Students Take the Leap
Many students in Fruita and Grand Junction graduate with potential but no clear path forward. Cory’s scholarship bridges that gap — offering not just funding, but motivation and mentorship.
On the Success Stories page, you’ll find real examples of students who’ve used the scholarship to attend college, start businesses, or pursue careers in teaching, health care, and tech.
Explore how the program encourages leadership and personal growth on the Mission & Values page.
