For 2024 the Kit Faragher Foundation will offer three
$10,000 scholarships to graduating Colorado high school seniors, with one
of those scholarships dedicated to a graduating senior from a
Montrose County High School due to the generosity of that
community during our fundraisers there over the past several
years.
The Kit Faragher Foundation will offer a 4th scholarship to
a graduating high school senior from a Geauga County, Ohio high
school. Kit Faragher grew up in and attended high school in Geauga
County, and the Foundation will support deserving students in that
community as well.
The applications for 2024 are now available!
Keeping Kit Faragher's Legacy Alive!
Kathleen "Kit" Faragher was a woman full of life, love and enthusiasm. She committed herself to everything she did whether it was her career, her studies, or having fun. Kit's smile, positive attitude and love brought joy to her family and friends. Although her life was cut short, Kit attained happiness, love and success
Kit Faragher lost her life in the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Kit had worked for Janus Capital Corporation in Denver, Colorado for almost seven years. In her memory, the Janus Foundation began the Kit Faragher Memorial Scholarship for students entering college in the 2002 to 2003 school year. The Faragher family, with great assistance and financial support from the Janus Foundation, has continued the scholarship through the formation of the Kit Faragher Foundation. Organized in April 2003, the Kit Faragher Foundation has provided annual scholarships to students since then.
