Colorado Correctional Employees Scholarship Fund (CCESF)

CCESF was established in 2008 to assist the surviving dependents of Colorado Department of Corrections employees with college expenses.

Education is an important dream to pursue, but when a family is struck by a loss of a parent or guardian, too often these dreams are sacrificed. The purpose of the scholarship fund is to support the educational needs of dependents under the age of 25 for:

• Any full time employee of CDOC who died while in active service.

• Any deceased retired full time employee with 20+ years of service.

• Any full time employee who was medically retired at the time of their death.

• Any full time employee who died while on active duty with the USA military services.
