Nine students from the University of Colorado at Boulder have received scholarships to study in other countries this spring.
The scholarships were awarded by the Study Abroad Office at CU-Boulder and the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE). They will help cover expenses in the Study Abroad program for Colorado residents who are underrepresented on the Boulder campus because they are ethnic minorities or are from the state's rural areas.
Following are the names of diversity scholarship recipients, their hometown, scholarship name, award amount, study location and academic major.
