The Elevate & Impact Awards recognize Boettcher Alums who continue to demonstrate leadership and a strong service ethic, while providing an opportunity to further expand their impact. These awards are not simply about titles or positions; rather, they honor inspiring Alums who have made meaningful contributions to their communities and positively influenced the lives of others.

The Boettcher Impact Award will be given to:
- A Boettcher Scholar Alum who received their undergraduate degree more than 10 years ago (before 2016), or
