The students shared their positive experiences with the program and highlighted its many benefits, including financial stability, a strong support system and access to additional resources. They explained how these resources helped them overcome challenges and achieve success, emphasizing the program's importance in making higher education accessible to all students. The Reisher Scholars Program provides financial aid, academic advising, career counseling and personal coaching to help low-income Colorado residents attend college.
