Announcing the 2026 Impact on Education scholarship winners
We’re proud to announce that 11 seniors across the Boulder Valley School District have been awarded scholarships — a $49,000 investment — to pursue higher education this fall.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
OUR STATEMENT
Impact on Education is committed to equalizing opportunity in education across racial and socioeconomic lines. We understand how important education is in determining a child’s future, and we work every day to ensure all Boulder Valley students have a bright path forward.
We acknowledge that distributing funds and resources equally throughout our schools does not address underlying inequalities, so we prioritize causes, schools, and students facing the largest obstacles to success. Unfortunately, it is not a coincidence that the students and schools most in need of our support are communities of color.
Our role in fighting systemic racism and social injustices is to support equitable education. We are committed to our mission and are in constant inquiry as to how we can do better.
