Nine Littleton Public Schools seniors, from all three of the district’s high schools, have been recognized by the Boettcher Scholarship Program as semifinalists. The Boettcher Scholarship is one of the most prestigious merit-based scholarships available to graduating high school seniors in Colorado. Now in its 65th year, the Boettcher Scholarship program has awarded more than 2,400 scholarships with over $3 million paid out each year. This places the program among the largest merit-based scholarship programs in the nation.

The following LPS students were named Boettcher Scholarship Semifinalists:

Cameron Berry—Heritage High School
Reganne Fornstrom—Littleton High School
Griffin Hampton—Arapahoe High School
Caitlin Hearty—Heritage High School
Ben Morris—Littleton High School
Jonathan Schreiber—Heritage High School
Sienna Woo—Littleton High School
Avery Zieper—Littleton High School
Kirk Zieser—Arapahoe High School

Selection for the Boettcher Scholarship is based on superior academic achievement, strength of character and a demonstrated commitment to school and community activities. Scholastic eligibility requirements are minimums, not norms. In recent years, Boettcher Scholars averaged in the top 2% in their class by rank and scored 1440 on the SAT and 33 on the ACT. A successful candidate also demonstrates a strong potential for continued leadership and service. While Boettcher Scholars come from all over the state, represent diverse backgrounds and possess an incredible array of talents, they share two overriding characteristics: an intense intellectual curiosity and a passion for involvement.

Boettcher Scholarship selection criteria includes:

• Superior Scholastic Ability
• Evidence of Potential Leadership
• Service to Community and School
• Outstanding Character

Boettcher Scholarships provide full tuition, fees, books and a living stipend for four years at any college or university in Colorado. Finalists and winners will be notified in the spring.
