The Sesquicentennial Scholars honor our institution’s 150th anniversary by supporting exceptional student leaders who demonstrate academic excellence, community engagement and a commitment to positive impact. The program provides financial support, along with leadership and professional development opportunities, to a cohort of scholars during our sesquicentennial year.

Scholars will complete a signature project or experience, a self-designed experiential learning opportunity that supports their personal and professional growth. These projects are intended to provide hands-on, meaningful learning experiences and help build lasting connections at CU Boulder and beyond.
