Reisher Ready Program

Roger L. and Margaret Reisher established the Reisher Family Foundation in 2000 to support promising students from families with limited financial means in completing their college education. The mission of the Reisher Scholars Program is to offer a supportive network and financial assistance to Colorado students, ensuring they graduate on time with minimal student debt.

Reisher Scholars are highly motivated, goal-oriented, and responsible individuals who are committed to making a positive impact in their communities. They demonstrate this through leadership, community service, or work experience.

To be considered for the program, students must be Colorado residents and Freshmen at Colorado Mesa University at the time they receive the award (2026-2027). Applicants must have and maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 and demonstrate financial need as determined by FAFSA data, and be on track to graduate within a total of four years from the start of their college education.
