Polis launches scholarship

On June 2, Gov. Jared Polis announced the Colorado Comeback Cash Scholarship drawing, where five eligible Coloradans ages 12-17 will be randomly selected to win a $50,000 scholarship each week for five weeks. This public health initiative is meant to promote vaccine uptake.

“Last week we launched the Colorado Comeback Cash for Coloradans 18 and older, and now we are rolling out how Coloradans ages 12-17 have a chance to win $50,000 toward their education when they get the vaccine as soon as possible.

“These scholarships will help 25 lucky winners get the postsecondary education of their choice. We need each and every Coloradan to be part of this once-in-a-generation effort to power the Colorado Comeback and the first step is getting vaccinated,” said Polis.

Drawings for the Comeback Cash Scholarship will occur on Mondays, and winners will be announced Fridays, June 11, 18, 25, July 2 and 9.
