Lorrie Shepard Scholarship

This scholarship was established by the CU Boulder community to honor Distinguished Professor and Dean Emerita Lorrie Shepard. In her 40+ years on the faculty, and 15 years as dean, Professor Shepard championed the critical importance of public education and strong teachers to ensure a more equitable and socially just world. It is her wish that this scholarship be used to recruit an accomplished and dedicated candidate into teaching. Preference will be given to those committed to working with under-served students especially in rural and urban communities. Bilingual candidates, students of color, and/or first-generation college students are especially encouraged to apply; however, an applicant’s race/ethnicity will not be considered a factor in the selection process.
