Fourteen students at the University of Colorado at Â鶹¹ÙÍø have been awarded diversity scholarships to study in other countries in 1998-99.
Two diversity scholarships, one awarded by CU-Â鶹¹ÙÍø 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 Â鶹¹ÙÍø campus because they are ethnic minorities or from the state's rural areas.
