MONEY MATTERS Students Will Benefi t From New Scholarships Kane Family Foundation Invests in Pueblo Eight high-achieving Pueblo County students will earn full-ride scholarships thanks to a Fountain couple’s estate. The Kane Family Scholarship Program, formed by the foundation of the late Alexander “Andy” and Wanden Matthews Kane, will fund the merit-based scholarship program. Students who receive the full Kane scholarships for up to five years will be selected based on their high school academic record and on recommendations from each high school – Centennial, Central, County, East, South, Pueblo West, and the Dolores Huerta Preparatory High School. An eighth scholarship will be awarded to one student from a combined Rye High School/Pueblo Tech Academy pool. A Kane Scholarship will cover the full cost of tuition, books, and mandatory course fees for each awardee for up to five years toward pursuit of a bachelor’s degree. The first class of Kane Scholars were introduced as part of the President’s Scholarship Gala on April 27: Royce Cappis, East High School; Kristi Vigil, Centennial High School; Danae Nafziger, County High School; Azalia Sais, Central High School; Francesca Stuart, South High School; Maritza Espinoza, Dolores Huerta Preparatory High; Jaclyn Gazette, Pueblo Technical Academy; and Amber Jones, Pueblo West High School.

In her nearly four decades of service to Pueblo and its youth as a counselor and assistant principal, Montoya DeLeon saw students and colleagues who wanted to achieve a dream of either finishing a bachelor’s degree, adding a second degree, or pursuing additional education as life-long learners. The first scholarship(s) will be for the 2008-2009 scholarship year. Scholarships will be dispersed evenly to provide for as many scholarships as the fund will allow, based on the needs of the CSU-Pueblo non-traditional student pool. President Joseph Garcia announced in March that the University would receive a $1 million endowment to fund scholarships for students from low-income or working class families, first generation college students, non-traditional students, and students from traditionally underrepresented groups, thanks to the estate of Helen McLoraine, a Denver philanthropist who has touched the lives of thousands of young people through the Pioneer Fund.
