Dan Creedon Sports Scholarship

Selection statement of purpose
Scholarships within the college are awarded to provide financial support based on need, academic achievement, and/or other specified criteria as determined by the fund agreement for Donor/Gift Funded scholarships or the awarding department for Institutional/Departmental scholarships.
The donor sets the criteria for recipient selection (i.e., financial need, field of study). Scholarships are awarded for one academic year. Institutional funded scholarship selection criteria will be determined prior to review and selection of applicants and will be documented annually.
The Dan Creedon Sports Internship Fund was established in honor of Dan Creedon, sports editor of Boulder’s Daily Camera, to provide stipends for students in the College of Media, Communication and Information who are interning, or have interned during college, in any sports-related media or sports department of any organization or in public relations, marketing communications or press office of any sport’s organization. Letter of appreciation should be written to Ms. Patricia O’connor
