Scholarships
The club is proud to annually sponsor two or three students with scholarships. The scholarship fund was increased significantly in 2007 to enable the awarding of more scholarships to deserving students at every level of their studies at CU. The Scholarship Committee is always impressed with those applying for these awards.
Teacher Recognition Awards
The Directors Club has worked with The Herd, the student arm of the Alumni Association, to recognize outstanding professors on the Boulder campus. The winners are given a monetary award and public recognition.
