2018 Boettcher Scholars Recognize Influential Teachers

30 May 2018 Boettcher Scholars Recognize Influential Teachers

DENVER, May 30, 2018 — Forty-two Colorado teachers have been selected as recipients of the Boettcher Foundation’s Teacher Recognition Award. The annual award honors the educators who have had the greatest influence on the 2018 class of Boettcher Scholars.

“The 42 teachers selected by our newest Boettcher Scholars have championed excellence in their classrooms, and we are proud to recognize them for helping our scholars get to where they are today,” said Tiffany Anderson, the Boettcher Foundation’s scholarship program director.

As part of the Boettcher Scholarship program, which provides Colorado’s most talented students with scholarships to attend a Colorado college or university, recipients are asked to select the teacher who has impacted him or her the most. Each teacher honoree is recognized with a personalized plaque, a special tribute from the Boettcher Scholar who selected them, and a $1,000 grant to be used for a project or activity to benefit students at their school.

“We know that the success of our Boettcher Scholars is a direct result of the commitment made by their teachers, and this is a small but meaningful way of expressing our gratitude for their dedication to Colorado’s students,” Anderson said.
