Scholarship funds available for multicultural students
Mar 1st
Boulder County, Colo. – Scholarships ranging from $500-$1,000 each are now available to low-income students through Boulder County’s Community Action Programs.
Sheila Goetz pointed out to Boulder Channel 1 News that the grants we based on need and not on color. The grants are open to all colors: Anglo, Hispanic, Native American, Asian, and black. There is no color quota, though Latino students are a disproportionate large population of those in need.
Applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Minimum one year residency in Boulder County
- Currently attending university, community college or technical school as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student
- Low to moderate income level
Scholarships are made possible through proceeds from the Community Action Programs’ annual Multicultural Awards Banquet. Preference is given to students actively involved in a student or community organization.
Prior scholarship recipients are not eligible to apply again and scholarships are not available to students graduating from high school this spring or summer.
Students of color are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications are due by April 13 and are available on the Multicultural Awards webpage. Please contact Sheila Goetz at 303-441-3976 or sgoetz@bouldercounty.org for more information.

Where: Commissioners’ Hearing Room, Boulder County Courthouse, third floor, 1325 Pearl St., Boulder

The commissioners will first hear presentations from county Land Use, Parks and Open Space, Transportation, and Public Health staff on their roles in overseeing oil and gas development in unincorporated Boulder County. The presentations will include information on past and anticipated future drilling statistics and trends, observed impacts of oil and gas operations, application of current regulations, and concerns about future trends, impacts and regulatory needs.
