Lorinda Diehl--Colorado admissions counselor for Grand Canyon University.  I have had the pleasure of working with a number of college bound students, who are considering GCU as an option in the Fall. I am reaching out today as a means to share our scholarship information with you.  We have over a million dollars in scholarships and are still in the process of awarding these to incoming students.  Because we have a rolling admissions policy we are still considering students for the Fall of 2008.    Click on the following link to learn more and obtain an application.

Attached is our scholarship application!  Please pass on to students that are still looking for a University and feel that GCU might be a good fit for them.  If there is an interest then please have them call me at 888 286 6870, as I can waive the application fee only under this circumstance. 

Below you will find a “blurb” about Grand Canyon University, for your convenience;
