La Voz Staff
La Voz kicks off the 15th annual Student of the Week (SOTW) program. We are excited to once again feature Colorado’s top seniors for the school year. The program features Colorado’s top students from statewide high schools.
Student of the Week is one of our most popular features and in recent years it has become one of our busiest times of the year for La Voz, with an increase of student nominations each year. Our internal committee narrows down the list due to the quantity of qualified nominations that come across our desks. The internal committee reviews incoming nominations where students are measured by their academic achievements and their presence in the community.
Historically, we receive nominations for students who attend Colorado high schools, and we challenge and encourage school administrators, counselors, and teachers across the state to send us nominations of your top students who deserve public praise and accolades. As the kickoff on October 19, 2022, quickly approaches we would like to remind everyone, including parents, to reach out to your student’s counselors, teachers, coaches etc. about your student or someone you may know who qualifies, and remind them why they need to nominate your amazing student.
Our 2022 feature begins Wednesday, Oct. 19, and will run through mid-May 2023. In mid-June 2023, our internal committee will choose one student for a scholarship award of $1500. Once we have selected a winner, we will feature that outstanding student in a mid-June print edition, via online and through social media.
The Salazar Family Foundation returns as our scholarship provider of $1500. The Salazar Family Foundation is well known for helping students achieve higher education. Many thanks to this incredible organization and its founders, Rob and Lola Salazar.
The Student of the Week program winners have a great opportunity to add their featured publication to their student college portfolio and resume.
Our Student of the Week nomination packet is available for download on our website at www.lavozcolorado.com. You may also view last years’ featured students, and the Student of the Week scholarship winner online in the Student of the Week section of our website.
