Summer Financial Aid Application Open

MAY 12
 

Summer Work-Study Begins

How to Apply

All students are required to apply for financial aid every year. Start the process by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  Although applying for financial aid is basically the same for all students, there are additional requirements and/or rules for different populations. For a tutorial on completing the FAFSA, see www.colorado.edu/finaid/fafsasteps.html.

Incoming/Transfer Students

The Office of Financial Aid makes every effort to help you make an informed decision about attending the University of Colorado Boulder by providing financial aid award estimates prior to the admissions confirmation deadline. It’s helpful to understand when and how our office will communicate with you.

Continuing Students

Applying for financial aid is a little bit easier if you are a continuing student. You still have to complete the FAFSA, but there are fewer steps to complete the entire process.

International Students

International students are not eligible for federal financial aid. You may apply for federal aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)  if you become an eligible non-citizen. The Office of International Education may have other resources available.
