Bartkus Family Scholarship
The Bartkus Family Scholarship was established by Tony Bartkus of Bartkus Oil to give back to the community and campus, and to recognize his son Dale’s career as an educator. The scholarship was created to support undergraduates majoring in social sciences, music, arts, journalism, humanities, or education.
Eligibility is based on merit, university or community involvement, financial need and an interview. Non-traditional students over the age of 24 are encouraged to apply and preference to students going into helping professions (excluding medicine, law, engineering and business) who demonstrate strong potential for success. Students identified as finalists will be invited in the spring to interview with the Bartkus Scholarship Selection Committee which includes family and CU Boulder staff.
