Starting in fall 2024, the College of Engineering & Applied Science Broadening Opportunity through Leadership & Diversity (BOLD) Center is launching a new scholarship program model. All current scholars will have their existing scholarship agreements honored through their graduation. However, both the current GoldShirt and BOLD scholarship programs will not be recruiting under these previous program requirements. All new BOLD scholarship recipients will be onboarded into the new integrated model, which incorporates best practices learned from our existing BOLD and GoldShirt scholarship programs, engineering education high-impact practices, and alignment with BOLD and college strategic goals.Ìý
This new model will enable us to meet the changing needs of incoming engineering students while adapting to student feedback and significant shifts in the college’s student success efforts, such as the Engineering Connections first-year engineering residential community.ÌýThe model will also allow us to leverage the variety of existing pathways and outreach initiatives supporting diversity recruitment efforts (e.g., high school partnerships, transfer pathways with Colorado community colleges, Lattice Scholars program for first-generation, Pell-eligible Colorado students).ÌýCurrent BOLD and GoldShirt scholars will receive the benefits of this new model while also honoring the traditions and terms of their existing scholarships.Ìý
The college and the BOLD Center remain committed to meaningfully engaging students with a broad spectrum of identities that value academics, community, leadership, a growth mindset, inclusion, and equity.ÌýSo why the change and what will this look like?Ìý
We look forward to these changes and are committed to the achievement and success of all BOLD students!Ìý
