Boettcher Scholars Fund

Help us realize the potential of Coloradans by supporting the Boettcher Scholars Fund, a 501(c)3 public charity that supports and elevates young leaders throughout their undergraduate careers and beyond. With your support, we can grow the number of Boettcher Scholarships and increase the impact of the scholarship program. 

Additional programming will help us to forge deeper partnerships with other community organizations in Colorado that foster civic-minded leadership. Through a strategic emphasis on leadership and civic engagement, we hope to create new and expanded opportunities for meaningful, lifelong engagement.

Giving can happen in a myriad of ways. Your contribution will help us grow the number of annual Boettcher Scholarships, increase Scholar programming, and support other Foundation leadership programming. More Scholars means more future service-oriented leaders who want to pay it forward, more industry experts, and more civically engaged leaders. 

Be our partner and help us to think and do the extraordinary.

"As a first-generation college student from a blue collar family, the scholarship ensured that I could actually go to college in the first place. Also, it made me accountable to something larger than myself for the first time and planted the all-important seed of giving back."

Jason Wheeler, 1992 Scholar & Current Foundation Trustee

"I had opportunities to leave Colorado but the unique combination of being a Boettcher Scholar and Colorado School of Mines was by far my best return-on-investment opportunity."
