The Boettcher Scholarship is a four-year, full-tuition and partial living expenses merit-based academic scholarship awarded to graduating Colorado high school students.[1] Award recipients, on average, rank in the top 2% of their graduating classes and have an average SAT score[2] around 1400 (roughly the 97th[3] percentile).
The award is considered a "full-ride" and allows Boettcher Scholars[4] to attend any accredited Colorado university for 4 years without significant expenditure by the student. Since 2022, Boettcher Scholarships are awarded to 50 students each year, representing about 3% of applicants.[5] Recipients are selected from 100 finalists who are interviewed by the Foundation board. 300 semi-finalists are required to add a teacher recommendation to their application with the hopes of advancing to be a finalist. In the 2021–2022 season over 1,600 students applied. If a student declines the scholarship, alternates are promoted from the pool of finalists so that all scholarships are used.
The program was started in 1952 with the intention of keeping high-performing students in Colorado. The most popular destination for recipients of the award
