Costs of attending a university in the U.S. are generally high. CU Boulder cannot provide federal financial aid to international students, and immigration regulations severely restrict employment of international students. Please review the information below to learn about funding opportunities that are available to international students through CU Boulder.

Undergraduate Student Funding Possibilities

International students are eligible for a few merit-based CU Boulder scholarships. Additionally, there are many funding opportunities outside of the university. We do not accept the CollegeBoard International Student Financial Aid Application. U.S. permanent residents and citizens, including those who live internationally, are eligible for U.S. financial aid and other CU Boulder scholarships.

Athletic & Music Scholarships

These are occasionally available through the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and the College of Music. They offer full or partial scholarships for very talented individuals. You can contact these offices directly:
