We award more than $50,000 in scholarships each year. Scholarships and award criteria may include academic merit, financial need, contributions to the field of environmental design or other requirements.


Continuing students should complete the general CU Boulder scholarship application AND the ENVD scholarship application, which are both found through the financial aid tab in your Buff Portal. The general CU Boulder scholarship application has questions about extracurricular activities, work experience, etc. as well as a required essay. The ENVD scholarship application has questions specific to ENVD scholarships and two short answer questions. 

Students should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for scholarships and awards that have financial need criteria and requirements.
