Fourteen students at the University of Colorado at Boulder have been awarded diversity scholarships to study in other countries in 1998-99.
Two diversity scholarships, one awarded by CU-Boulder and the other by the Colorado Commission of Higher Education (CCHE), help cover expenses in the Study Abroad program for Colorado residents who are underrepresented on the Boulder campus because they are ethnic minorities or from the state's rural areas.
