University Names President’s Outstanding Scholars from Across Colorado; Students Offered Fall 2006 Scholarship
Forty-eight high school seniors from across Colorado who qualify as 2005 President’s Outstanding Scholars will be offered a one-time, $500 scholarship if they enroll in Colorado State University in Fall 2006.
The program offers some of the brightest students in Colorado high schools a chance to explore the programs offered at Colorado State University.
Only students who have scored in the top 1 percent of the PSAT are asked to apply to the President’s Outstanding Scholars program. Applications must include evidence of leadership, service and academic achievement, an essay, a teacher recommendation and a transcript. Students need not have expressed previous interest in Colorado State.
The scholarship is a new element to the program this year. Students are also honored with a reception and a certificate.
"This new scholarship is a way to recognize some of the most promising and committed young people attending Colorado’s high schools," said Larry Edward Penley, president of Colorado State. "Colorado State is recognized throughout the world for its excellence in academic programs, and as such, our campus is a great fit for students who are highly motivated and have a strong record of achievement. CSU has been the top school of choice in the state of Colorado for several years, and we educate more students in science, math, technology and engineering than any other university in the state."
Recipients are invited to campus for a reception with the president, Provost and Senior Vice President Anthony Frank and officials from such departments as Student Financial Services, the Honors Program and Admissions. Current Boettcher and Monfort scholars and past recipients of the President’s Outstanding Scholars award also are invited to meet with the students.
