Few college students in Colorado struggle as much as those at PPSC right now. More than 50% of our students qualify for federal Pell grants for low income students. That's the highest percentage of Pell-eligible students in our state system, and they're not alone. All of our students have been profoundly impacted by the pandemic personally and educationally. The PPSC Foundation seeks funding to support immediate needs of students who have been impacted by the novel Coronavirus Pandemic.
