The 2026 Minturn Scholarship Program Is Now Open!
The Town of Minturn is pleased to offer annual academic scholarships to qualifying residents of any age, made possible through funding from Battle Mountain Development.
These scholarships are designed to support local students in pursuing higher education. As we continue to invest in the future of Minturn’s residents, we’re also seeking community support. Donations help us grow this fund and provide even greater opportunities for our students to succeed in college and beyond. If you’re interested in becoming a donor and making a direct impact, we’d love to hear from you.
