Las Animas Student Earns Boettcher Scholarship

DENVER-Grace Gardner, a senior at Las Animas High School, has been selected as a recipient of the Boettcher Foundation Scholarship.**

Boettcher Scholarships recognize Colorado's top students by providing them with the funds to attain an excellent in-state education and access to additional opportunities to enrich their time in college and beyond. Boettcher Scholars become part of a network of Alumni and community leaders who will support and engage them throughout their lifetimes.

"Boettcher Scholars are selected for their academic achievement, outstanding character, and service and leadership in their schools and communities," said Katie Kramer, president & CEO of the Boettcher Foundation. "The Boettcher Scholarship is an investment in our state's doers and difference makers. It not only recognizes their past achievements but also their future impact on the State of Colorado."

Established in 1952, the Boettcher Scholarship program awards 50 scholarships each year and has established a network of more than 2,800 Boettcher Scholars. Nearly 2,000 graduating high school seniors apply for the scholarship annually.

The scholarship Grace has been awarded includes $20,000 per year for four years from the Boettcher Foundation. Partner institutions will then use institutional aid to support up to either the cost of tuition and fees, or the full cost of attendance to attend the Colorado school of their choice.

"The Boettcher Foundation's scholarship selection process is competitive and rigorous," said Tiffany Anderson, vice president of grants and programs. "Grace really stood out with their commitment both in and out of the classroom. We're proud to have Grace representing the Boettcher community, and we look forward to seeing how their future leadership positively impacts the State of Colorado."

**Please note that while this student has been offered a Boettcher Scholarship, they are not considered a Boettcher Scholar until they officially confirm acceptance. If they decline, we will offer the scholarship to an alternate. As such, the finalized class of 2024 Boettcher Scholars will not be announced until early May. If you would like to receive a copy of the final Scholar announcement in May, please contact curtis@boettcherfoundation.org.
