Applications now open for Paul Cuthbertson Foundation 2025 Live for Those Who Cannot grant

The Paul Cuthbertson Foundation is now accepting applications for the sixth Annual Live for Those Who Cannot grants.

The Live for Those Who Cannot grant is awarded periodically to mountain youth with a passion for life and dedication to achieving excellence in their pursuits. The purpose of the foundation is to invest in the next generation of young women and men by providing merit and need-based grants that help them pursue their goals in life with a focus on competitive sports, outdoor recreation, education, music, and the arts.

Those in pursuit of these life goals, ages 25 and younger, are encouraged to apply between Feb. 17 through April 15, 2025. Grants are merit and need-based, and applicants are evaluated based on need, passion, dedication to achieving excellence, work ethic, community involvement, ties to a Colorado mountain town, and recommendations from a teacher, coach, or community leader.

The grant has been established in honor of Paul Allen Cuthbertson, who passed away on May 19, 2019, after sustaining injuries while skiing and hiking on New York Mountain in Eagle County. Paul is remembered as a mountain sports athlete with a zeal for life who internalized the phrase “Live for Those Who Cannot” after losing friends and family before their time.

In the days following Paul’s passing, his family established The Paul Cuthbertson Foundation to support goal-oriented youth who have a passion for life. The foundation has now amassed sufficient funds to allow for the sixth round of grants, which will be awarded in May 2025.

“Live For Those Who Cannot” is a philosophy that Paul created, lived by, and had tattooed on his forearm. Donations for the scholarship are currently being accepted by the Foundation.
