CU-Boulder Scholarship Application - Prospective Freshmen

The 2013-14 scholarship application is closed. We are evaluating applications and will notify recipients beginning mid-April. Unfortunately, many eligible students may not be awarded scholarships as the applicant pool is highly competitive. Students who completed the CU-Boulder scholarship application but are not selected to receive a scholarship can expect e-mail notification by late April (sent to the e-mail address provided on the Admission application).

The CU-Boulder Scholarship application is available from December 1 to March 1 11:59 p.m. MT through the MyCUBoulder student portal after applying for admission. The application requires completing a resume and essay. Additionally, some of the scholarships may require writing a special essay, submitting recommendation letters, or documenting eligibility. Any scholarship that has financial need as criteria for eligibility also requires a completed FAFSA. The application requirements for each scholarship are available in MyCUBoulder.
