CU-LEAD Alliance and Scholarship Program

Why CU-LEAD? Leadership in a diverse world, Excellence in all endeavors, Achievement through scholarship and community service, and Diversity as a core value in education and in society.

What is the CU-LEAD Alliance?

The CU Leadership, Excellence, Achievement, and Diversity (CU-LEAD) Alliance is a set of multidisciplinary academic neighborhoods whose students, faculty, and staff are united to promote diversity and educational excellence for our campus through access for students of color and first generation students. These neighborhoods build community by providing academic enrichment, leadership activities, scholarships, small group classes and computer labs, personal links to faculty and staff, a gathering place, counseling and mentoring, and opportunities for community service.

CU-LEAD Alliance Scholarship Program

The Ofelia Miramontes CU-LEAD Alliance Scholarship Fund is aimed at recruiting and retaining a diverse student body. The scholarship program offers a range of services and financial benefits for highly motivated students of color and first generation college students. Eligible students must be enrolled in one of the CU-LEAD Alliance neighborhoods.  Recipients receive a scholarship annually and may participate in the program for four years at CU-Boulder contingent upon their academic progress and fulfillment of program requirements.
