Puksta Scholars

September 22, 2005

THE PUKSTA SCHOLARS Program at CU-Boulder has selected eight students to receive a scholarship on the basis of their civic responsibility, high ethical standards and strong academic goals. Adam Gibbons, Courtni Frank, Regan Walton, Kovi Bessoff, Evan Thomas, Caitlin Merrell, Michelle Stavros and Victoria Van Antwerp each received a $4,500 scholarship in recognition of their commitment to civic engagement. The recipients join nine scholars already involved in the program. Puksta Scholars are required to be actively involved in an intensive, yearlong civic project that will serve the community. The Puksta Scholars Program is funded by the Puksta Educational Foundation of Denver. It was established by the late Harry and Eva Puksta and the University of Colorado Parents Fund. CU-Boulder is one of two universities that benefit from the fund, in addition to the University of Denver.
