CU Achieve Summer Grant
Unfortunately, funding for the CU Achieve Grant is not available for Summer 2025.
Students who received the Federal Pell Grant during the school year may have remaining Pell Grant eligibility for summer session. To figure out how much financial aid you can get for summer, complete the Summer Financial Aid Application when it opens in late February. You’ll receive an immediate estimate of your aid to help you plan.
Summer is a great time to catch up on some credit hours and progress to the next level of your academic career. The CU Achieve Grant could help you pay for your summer courses.
