Leticia R. and Michael J. Tomczak Memorial Scholarship

The Tomczak Memorial Scholarship supports undergraduate students who have experienced loss. Recipients must submit an essay on how their loss has affected them and must demonstrate financial need. The scholarship was created by a CU Boulder alum, John Michael Tomczak, in loving memory of his parents. John Michael sadly lost his mother while a student at CU and was left to help his father run the family business while finishing a double degree in broadcast journalism and evolutionary biology. It became the toughest period of his life and he seeks to support other students who have overcome unspeakable loss and grief to attend the university, as a way to honor his parents’ legacy.

For consideration, students must:

• Complete the CU Boulder General Scholarship Application by the deadline
• Have a completed FAFSA/CASFA
• Demonstrate financial need as determined by the FAFSA/CASFA
• Complete the supplemental questions for this scholarship

This is a renewable award of ~$1000 which you can receive for up to a maximum of 4 years (8 semesters) total as long as each semester you:

• Enroll in and earn a minimum of 12 credit hours
• Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress.
