Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Hutchinson Bell Scholarship Programs
The RMCHB has established three scholarships designed to provide financial assistance to students desiring to attend Florida College who meet the following criteria
-
Purpose: This scholarship is a traditional Hutchinson Bell scholarship recognizing the first-year applicant’s involvement in the local chapter or attendance at Colorado Camp.

-
Criteria: (1) The applicant must be accepted by Florida College; (2) the applicant or the applicant’s family must be a member of the RMCHB or, alternatively, the applicant has attended Colorado Camp for no less than two years. You should not apply for this scholarship if you are applying for a similar scholarship from your ‘home’ Hutchinson Bell Chapter. If the applicant has recently moved to Colorado, consideration will be given to previous Hutchinson Bell membership in other locations.
