About the Boettcher Scholarship Program
Since 1952, the Boettcher Scholarship Program has existed to keep Colorado’s most talented high school seniors in-state for their postsecondary years. Scholars are selected based on academics, service, leadership, and character. In addition to receiving an $80,000 scholarship award across four years, scholars also receive institutional, merit, and / or need-based aid from their respective campuses. As a comprehensive scholarship, the Boettcher award also includes programming and support to ensure that scholars reach their full academic and leadership potential. Learn More
About the Daniels Fund Scholarship
The Daniels Fund strives to operate as a permanent part of the communities they serve by providing grants and scholarships. Each year, a select group of students are selected as a Daniels Scholar and awarded a scholarship covering the full cost of attendance. Scholars are selected for embodying: strength of character, leadership potential, commitment to serving their communities, academic performance or promise, well-rounded personality, and emotional maturity and stability.
