Casey Feldman Scholarship
The Casey Feldman Alternative Breaks Memorial Endowment was established in honor of Casey Feldman, who passed away on July 17, 2009, after being hit by a car as a pedestrian. Casey’s life was much too short but she managed in those 21 years to accomplish so much and to touch the lives of many through her kindness, love, friendship, caring and compassion. Each year, the Casey Feldman Memorial Scholarship helps to fully fund Alternative Breaks trips for a number of CU Boulder students who may not otherwise be able to afford the opportunity. To read the stories of past Casey Feldman Scholarship recipients, visit the Casey Feldman Foundation website.

CU Alternative Breaks Scholarship
CU Student Government generously provides the Alternative Break program with funding to be allocated as scholarships, which is known as the CU Alternative Breaks Scholarship. This scholarship reduces the trip cost for students with financial need, who otherwise may not be able to afford an Alternative Breaks trip. For those whose financial situation may be a barrier to their participation in the Alternative Breaks trip, please apply for the CU Alternative Breaks Scholarship on the Participant Application.
