Sue Burch Memorial Scholarship

Sue Burch was an accomplished civil attorney who worked with governmental organizations like the National Education Association. She was passionate about the law and a dedicated advocate for her clients. Outside of her work, Sue loved the outdoors, spending time in the mountains, especially fishing. She also had a love for her cats and enjoyed collecting jazz records.

As a longtime active member of Zonta Club of Denver II, Sue’s sudden passing in 2000 deeply impacted our club. To honor her memory, we established the Sue Burch Memorial Scholarship in 2003.

This scholarship is designed to support a young woman who has graduated from Florence Crittenton High School in Denver, CO, and has completed at least two semesters of college, university, or technical school. The goal is to help her continue her education and trainings

Each school year, scholarships are awarded to one or more recipients. The funds can be used for tuition, books, lab fees, or other education-related expenses. The scholarship is paid directly to the college, university, or job training program on behalf of the student.
