Announcing Our Inaugural 2023-2024 Scholarship Winners!

We are proud to honor these local high school seniors:


South Fork Community Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of our first-ever Scholarship Program. These scholarships were offered to seniors attending Del Norte, Creede, Center, Sargent, and Monte Vista high schools on a competitive basis. Five scholarships were originally funded at up to $2000 each.  Six applications were received, and they were all so remarkable that the SFFF Board of Directors approved the funding of all six. Each one of these applicants have demonstrated academic excellence, community involvement, respect among their peers, teachers, employers, and have solid plans for furthering their educations at different universities and colleges. 


  • Kayleigh Sue Haynie, Del Norte High School, plans on completing nursing school at Trinidad State, and then go on to medical school
  • Tiernan King, Creede High School, will attend Colorado State University as a chemistry major
  • Will Roden, Creede High School, will study Sports Management at Texas Tech University, Lubbock
  • Zachary Romero, Del Norte High School, attending University of Colorado-Boulder as a Business Major
  • Lane Spearman, Sargent High School, will major in Agriculture at West Texas A&M in Canyon, TX


SFCF wishes to congratulate each of these exceptional students and we know they will all be successful in their college careers.
