Byrne Urban Scholars is a Denver-based program dedicated to helping students graduate high school. Our goal is to help each Byrne Urban Scholar earn a high school diploma from a top-performing Denver-area private or charter high school. With their high school diplomas, our scholars have more opportunity to participate in higher education, obtain meaningful employment and lead fulfilling lives.

OUR MISSION

Byrne Urban Scholars, a non-profit tax-exempt organization, provides financial, academic and emotional support to students experiencing risk factors that reduce their odds of graduating high school. Utilizing a combination of mentoring, case management and partnership with families and top-performing Denver private and charter schools, Byrne Urban Scholars empowers participants to graduate high school with a meaningful life plan for future academic and/or career success.

We achieve our mission through a combination of support, including mentoring, case management, tutoring and financial assistance through either a stipend for educational use or tuition support.
