CU Promise Program
Tuition, fees, and books – together we have it covered.
The University of Colorado at Boulder guarantees that eligible Colorado residents from low-income families will be able to afford the academic costs of a university education without going into debt.
CU-Boulder is offering eligible students a financial aid award package that includes a combination of grants, scholarships, and a work-study award sufficient to fund the student share of tuition, fees, and estimated book expenses. Grants and scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need and/or merit and do not have to be repaid. Work-study is offered to students through their financial aid award, and students are responsible for earning the funds through an on campus department or approved off-campus agency (work-study job info).
To be eligible for the CU Promise Program, a student must:
- be a Colorado resident,
- for initial eligibility, be an entering freshman or a new transfer student from a Colorado community college; for continuing eligibility, see CU Promise FAQs.
- have a total family income at or below 100% of the federally-established poverty level,
- apply for financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant award,
- meet all other criteria as specified in the CU Promise FAQs.
CU-Boulder is committed to assisting all students in their pursuit of a university education. Students who qualify for the CU Promise Program may still choose to use student loans to cover some of their other educational costs. Students who do not qualify for the CU Promise Program may still be eligible for enough financial aid to cover the majority of their academic costs.
