How & When to Apply

Your high school counselor will get detailed information about the Scholarship selection process in September. Counselors will then log in to the Scholarship application site, create unique accounts and then invite each eligible student to apply.

If you are a rising senior in a Colorado high school, visit your counselor to determine if you are eligible to access the online application.

The application process is rigorous. After you complete an official application on the Boettcher Scholarship Application website, you’ll also need to submit an official transcript and standardized ACT or SAT test scores that must be mailed directly from the testing agency/agencies to the Foundation.

All forms and materials must be postmarked or electronically time-stamped no later than 11:59 p.m. on November 1 of your senior year.

If you make an Early Decision commitment to an out-of-state institution, you won’t be eligible for a Boettcher Scholarship. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to leave your options open and apply to colleges during the spring admissions timeframe. If you are patient and wait to apply during the standard application process which notifies students of admissions decisions in April, you will be able to consider more colleges and funding options, including the possibility of winning and accepting a Boettcher Scholarship.
