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 (those who have been graduated from high school or equivalent for 5 or more years) are encouraged to apply. Preference is given 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.

To be eligible for consideration, students must:

• Complete the CU Boulder General Scholarship Application by the deadline as well as the supplemental Bartkus scholarship questions
• Have a completed FAFSA/CASFA
• Demonstrate financial need as determined by the FAFSA/CASFA

This is a renewable scholarship awarded for a maximum of 3 years (6 semesters) provided you each semester you enroll in and earn a minimum of 12 credit hours and meet Satisfactory Academic Progress. Renewal is based on your academic progress, fund availability, and the submission of an annual plan of study and public service to provide an update to the scholarship donors on your activities over the last year and plans for next year.
