Boettcher Scholarship Review
The Boettcher scholarship is for seniors in Colorado high schools, and it is awarded on merit.
Merit is defined by the Boettcher Foundation as exceptional academic aptitude, intellectual curiosity, leadership, service, exceptional character, and a commitment to extracurricular activities both inside and outside of the classroom.
The Boettcher Foundation places a high value on lived experience and the environment in which a student has succeeded as a leader, either as a result of or in spite of personal circumstances.
Fulfilling this requirement serves as the basis for selection for the Boettcher Scholarship. Additionally, a victorious applicant exhibits a high degree of leadership and service potential.
Please visit the Boettcher Foundation website to apply or for additional information. The Boettcher Foundation makes all of the scholarship awarding decisions.
