Martin K. Grantz Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Martin K. Grantz Memorial Scholarship Fund honors the legacy of Marty Grantz, former Challenger Colorado Registrar. Marty had an impact on everyone he met. His most proud moments were not his personal accomplishments but the accomplishments of others. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, which is what Martin K. Grantz Memorial Scholarship Fund stands for.

If we do not receive enough applications, one student will be awarded a scholarship in the amount of $3500 for the 2023-2024 school year.
