APPLICATION PROCESS
The Boettcher Scholarship application packet is a separately published set of documents and cannot be obtained from this web page.
Applications are distributed every September to high school counselors. To obtain an application, please see your high school counselor. Please note that applications will only be given to students who meet the minimum eligibility requirements.
Applying for a Boettcher Scholarship is an involved process. To be considered, a completed application on Boettcher Foundation forms, original essay, transcript and standardized test scores must be submitted. All forms and materials must be postmarked no later than November 1 of the applicant's senior year.
Early decision commitments to out-of-state institutions effectively close the door for receiving a Boettcher Scholarship. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to leave your options open and apply to colleges under the spring admissions time frame. If you are patient and wait to apply during the standard application process, which notifies students of admissions decisions in April, you are able to consider many more college alternatives and funding possibilities, including the option of winning and accepting a Boettcher Scholarship.
Following the application deadline, letters of notification will be sent to all applicants disclosing whether or not they have advanced to the next stage of the selection process. Approximately 200 Semifinalists will be selected from the initial pool of applicants, which is typically between 850-1,050 students. Then, 70 Finalists will be named and each Finalist will be interviewed in Denver in person. Following interviews, 40 Boettcher Scholars will be chosen. Letters of award will be mailed to winners immediately following the interview process.
