The Boulder Valley School District is proud to celebrate the Class of 2025 and its many varying accomplishments. Among those, we are pleased to share the names of students who have been selected for outstanding academic honors in our district.
Boettcher Scholarship
The 2025 Class of Boettcher Scholars, are a distinguished group of 50 Colorado high school graduates whose achievements and leadership are already creating meaningful change across the state. Since 1952, the Boettcher Scholarship Program has invested in young Colorado leaders, encouraging them to pursue higher education in the Centennial State and become catalysts for positive change.
Each Scholar receives an $80,000 scholarship over four years, supplemented by additional institutional, merit, and/or need-based aid. Beyond financial support, the program offers a comprehensive network and leadership development opportunities designed to help Scholars expand their influence and foster lasting contributions.
The 2025 cohort embodies this year’s theme “Ripple Effect,” illustrating how individual dedication and leadership can inspire and uplift others, generating far-reaching impact.
Two BVSD students have been awarded full-ride Boettcher scholarships. They include:
- Dikshya Gauli from Peak to Peak Charter School
- Anna Grace Schroer from Centaurus High School
