Cory Thompson Fruita knows that potential is everywhere — it just needs a little support to shine. That’s why he established the Cory Thompson Scholarship Fund: to help students in Fruita CO and Grand Junction CO take the next big step in their academic and personal journeys.
Supporting Students Where They Are
The Cory Thompson Scholarship isn’t only for the top of the class. It’s for students who have heart, hustle, and a desire to better themselves and their community. That’s what sets it apart — it values character as much as academics.
Many recipients of Cory’s scholarship have gone on to pursue degrees in healthcare, education, business, and public service. Their stories prove that local investments in education create long-lasting impact.
You can view some of these powerful testimonials on the Student Stories page, where past recipients share how the scholarship changed their lives.
Empowering Grand Junction and Fruita’s Youth
Students from the Grand Junction area face unique challenges, from rising tuition costs to balancing academics and athletics. Cory’s program aims to ease that burden — while also teaching responsibility, leadership, and service.
