The Wabash CannonBall Colorado Scholarship program provides scholarships for Colorado high school seniors who plan to attend Kansas State University.

The Wabash CannonBall Colorado Scholarship is funded by the Wabash CannonBall Colorado gala in Denver through sponsorships and the "Fund a Wildcat" program and the Colorado Cats annual golf tournament. Each attendee has the opportunity to donate to the scholarship endowment.
