Two Denver Center For International Studies Seniors Receive The Prestigious Boettcher Scholarship Award
The Denver Center for International Studies (DCIS) is proud to announce that two of their seniors, Linda Castillo and Eliana Mastrangelo, have been awarded with Colorado's most prestigious merit-based college scholarship.
Selection for the Boettcher Scholarship is based on superior academic achievement, a demonstrated commitment to school and community activities, and strength of character. Boettcher Scholars share two overriding characteristics: an intense intellectual curiosity and a passion for involvement; two attributes Linda and Eliana have shown consistently during their time at DCIS.
The Scholarship covers the cost of the student's tuition, fees and books for eight semesters/twelve quarters at any of Colorado's four-year universities or colleges. A $2,800 living stipend is also supplied to help towards the cost of room and board. 70 finalists were chosen from over 1000 applications and after a challenging interview process only 40 recipients were chosen from schools all over Colorado.
As a college prep program with a 100% college application rate, DCIS is committed to supporting students in their academic and professional aspirations, and congratulates Linda and Eliana for this outstanding achievement.
