As part of their commitment to the community, Estes Park United Methodist Church members awarded five scholarships to graduating seniors at Estes Park High School on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

We believe in supporting the next generation of college students. This is the third year EPUMC has given scholarships to EPHS seniors.

The scholarships are a memorial to Dorothy Scott, a long-time member of EPUMC, who was known for her kindness and compassion. Scott promoted the importance of higher education throughout her life.

"Our congregation sees each scholarship not just as a financial gift, but as an act of hope and encouragement," EPUMC Pastor Anne Lantz emphasized. "We’re honored to walk alongside these young people as they step into the next chapter of their lives. These scholarships are just one way we live out our commitment to the youth of Estes Park."

The 2025 EPUMC scholarship recipients include Angel Venzor ($1,000), Kaitlyn Moore ($1,000), Cristopher Estanol ($2500), Dawn Nguyen ($2500), and Quincey Pauls ($2500).
