Boettcher Foundation Scholarship Workshops
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):
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).
