Custer High School student Kenna Ingram wins Boettcher Foundation Scholarship

 Boettcher Scholarships recognize Colo­rado’s top students by providing them with the funds to attain an excellent in-state education and access to additional oppor­tunities to enrich their time in college and beyond. Boettcher Scholars become part of a network of Alumni and community leaders who will support and engage them through­out their lifetimes.

“Boettcher Scholars are selected for their academic achievement, outstanding character, and service and leadership in their schools and communities,” said Katie Kramer, president & CEO of the Boettcher Foundation. “The Boettcher Scholarship is an investment in our state’s doers and dif­ference makers. It not only recognizes their past achievements but also their future impact on the State of Colorado.”

Established in 1952, the Boettcher Schol­arship program awards 50 scholarships each year and has established a network of more than 2,800 Boettcher Scholars. Nearly 2,000 graduating high school seniors apply for the scholarship annually.

The scholarship Kenna Ingram has been awarded includes $20,000 per year for four years from the Boettcher Foundation. Part­ner institutions will then use institutional aid to support up to either the cost of tuition and fees, or the full cost of attendance, to attend the Colorado school of their choice.

“The Boettcher Foundation’s scholar­ship selection process is competitive and rigorous,” said Tiffany Anderson, vice president of grants and programs. “Kenna really stood out with their commitment both in and out of the classroom. We’re proud to have Kenna representing the Boettcher community, and we look forward to seeing how their future leadership posi­tively impacts the State of Colorado.”
