The Boettcher Foundation believes in the promise of Colorado and the potential of Coloradans. We invest in people, programs, and organizations across the state to create a foundation for community building and transformational impact.

Boettcher Scholarships are awarded to the dynamic thinkers and leaders who will propel Colorado forward. The merit-based, competitive application process recognizes outstanding students who are academically talented and also committed to using their talents to support their communities. They encourage applications from all students who meet the eligibility requirements. Financial need is not required to qualify for the Boettcher Scholarship.

The Boettcher Foundation is hosting webinars on “Everything You Need to Know About Scholarships.” During these webinars we will discuss how students can “ACE” their college and scholarship applications, including tips on how to help your applications stand out. You can register to attend one of the webinars by clicking on the date you wish to attend (please note that you only need to attend one, as the same information will be presented during each webinar):

• Monday, October 6 from 5-6pm
• Wednesday, October 15 from 12-1pm

Because our Zoom attendee number is limited, please only register if you will be able to watch the webinar during the scheduled date and time. While we do encourage you to join in real-time so that you can ask questions, if you cannot attend any of these webinars, you can still watch an abbreviated recording of the presentation on the FAQs and Resources page of our website (located under the question asking if the Boettcher Foundation provides resources on how to be competitive in a scholarship application).

When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
