Cumbres
What is Cumbres?
Cumbres is a scholarship program for students who are planning to become Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) teachers at the University of Northern Colorado (UNCo). TSD’s EDI Department provides an additional annual renewable scholarship to any TSD graduates who maintain the Cumbres program requirements as a student.

"With this scholarship, I can get my degree without my parents worrying about how it can be afforded. I knew when I applied to colleges that I might end up with the dreaded student debt. I applied anyway because I knew that the career would be worth it in the end. Teaching is my passion. This scholarship has made my education possible. Receiving this scholarship allows my siblings to know that it is possible to go to college- expensive as it may be. Thank you"
