We're proud to share senior Dafne Rivas Quijada has been named both a Daniels Scholar and a Boettcher Scholar!
Dafne serves as president of the Sabor Latino Club and co-president of the Latine Student Union, and is a member of the Ambassador Club. As a member of Sources of Strength, she leads roundtable discussions on social justice. She performs her service at Gust Elementary School (where she attended!), Project Angel Heart, the Julia Temple Center, and the Loretto Motherhouse. Looking ahead to college, Dafne plans to pursue engineering, with a focus on civil engineering.
The Boettcher Scholarship Foundation seeks dynamic students, doers, and difference-makers to impact Colorado positively. This merit-based scholarship identifies students based on their scholastic ability, intellectual curiosity, leadership, service, and character. The Boettcher Scholarship is awarded in partnership with Colorado's four-year, nonprofit institutions of higher education and covers the full cost of attendance. Dafne is one of only 50 students to receive this prestigious award.
The Daniels Scholarship Program seeks students who embody the values of its founder, Bill Daniels - independent thinkers committed to making a positive impact in their communities. The Program helps make college possible for high-achieving, values-driven students in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Scholars receive up to a full cost of attendance scholarship and can attend the college of their choice throughout the country.
Congratulations, Dafne!
