The Puksta Scholars Program is a competitive scholarship program open to CU Boulder undergraduate students. Each year, a small cohort of students are awarded the scholarship with the explicit purpose to serve as catalysts for positive change on campus and in our local, national, and international communities. Puksta Scholars develop a community-based civic project over the course of an academic year that addresses the root causes of social problems and contributes to the common good.
Applications for the 2027-2028 school year opens December 1. Deadline to apply is March 15, 2027!
CU Boulder is one of five universities that are funded and supported by the Puksta Foundation. Founded in 2001, the Puksta Foundation provides scholarships, mentorship, and experiential community engagement training for undergraduate Colorado students.
