Hunter Donovan, a senior at Fleming High School, has been selected as a recipient of the 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 and Chief Executive Officer 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 2,700 Boettcher Scholars. More than 1,500 graduating high school seniors apply for the scholarship annually.

The scholarship Donovan 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, Senior Director of Programs and Strategic Initiatives. "Hunter really stood out with her commitment both in and out of the classroom. We're proud to have Hunter representing the Boettcher community and we look forward to seeing how her future leadership positively impacts the State of Colorado."

Hunter is the daughter of Jason and Amber Donovan, Haxtun.
