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.听

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鈥檚 student success efforts, such as the Engineering Connections first-year engineering residential community.听The 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).听Current BOLD and GoldShirt scholars will receive the benefits of this new model while also honoring the traditions and terms of their existing scholarships.听

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.听So why the change and what will this look like?听

• The new model will enable us to remain compliant within the changing legal landscape for admissions practices and student support services in higher education.听
• This new integrated model streamlines scholarship requirements and provides consistent benefits to all BOLD scholarship recipients moving forward.听
• To support students more broadly, the BOLD scholarship application process is shifting to also enable continuing and transfer students to apply for scholarships, whereas previously that opportunity was limited to incoming first-year students.听
• Key components of the GoldShirt Program are continuing in the first- and second-year experience of the new BOLD scholarship model moving forward (e.g., focus on community-building in the first semester and beyond, academic engagement, peer mentoring, building BOLD staff connections, leadership skill development, and promoting relationships for a greater sense of belonging).听
• BOLD scholarship recipients in years听three to four+听will build upon those experiences and additionally include an emphasis on experiential learning through student society/organization membership, ProReady career development, industry events, internships, education abroad, alumni engagement, and more.听

We look forward to these changes and are committed to the achievement and success of all BOLD students!听
