Applying for Scholarships
When you're in college, every little bit helps, so we definitely encourage you to seek scholarship opportunities. All it takes is a little research.
CU-Boulder Scholarships
Institutional scholarships are provided to CU-Boulder or by gifts from corporations, foundations and individual donors. While the donors specify the award criteria, the selection of recipients is made by the appropriate college, school, or department within CU-Boulder. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you don't need to be admitted to CU-Boulder to apply for scholarships.
- Available Scholarships: You can access information on CU-Boulder scholarships at the Office of Financial Aid's Scholarship Services site.
- When to Apply: Complete and submit the application by 5:00 p.m., Monday, March 1, 2010. Some scholarships have earlier deadlines. If you apply for scholarships that have a financial need requirement, your FAFSA results must also be on file no later than March 1, 2010.
- How to Apply: To access the general application, you'll need your CU-Boulder student ID and PIN, which you will receive after you have applied for admission to CU-Boulder.
Private Scholarships
Private scholarships are provided by organizations outside of the University such as Elks, Rotary, your local high school, national groups, etc. For these scholarships, you will apply directly to the sponsoring organization. There are many scholarship searches available online. Read more >
