PROSPECTIVE SCHOLARS
Claude Boettcher at his desk
The vision for the Boettcher Scholarship came from the high value the Boettcher family placed on education. In addition to supporting capital projects on many Colorado campuses, Claude Boettcher felt if Colorado's best and brightest young people were educated in the state, they would remain in Colorado as adults and ultimately provide leadership for the state's communities.
He was also aware that Boettcher Scholars had the potential to raise the bar at Colorado's institutions of higher education, thus enhancing the quality of the academic environment at these institutions and benefiting a far larger number of students indirectly.
Of the more than 2,000 Boettcher Scholars to date, more than half of the Alumni have remained in Colorado and become leaders in their professions and communities, fulfilling Claude Boettcher's vision.
