The CU Boulder Chancellor’s Achievement Scholarship is offered to incoming nonresident first-year students based on the strength of their admissions application. Recipients may also be eligible for the Arts & Humanities Merit Scholarship.
Scholarship Amount
Newly admitted students will be considered for a scholarship of $6,250 per year (renewable for four years, which is $25,000 total).
Qualifications
- You must be an incoming nonresident first-year student and remain a nonresident for tuition purposes. Receiving an in-state tuition exception will make you ineligible for this scholarship.
- Submit a completed application for admission no later than January 15
Eligibility
New students are considered for scholarships based on a comprehensive review of admission materials. Your academics are the main focus of review; however, your personal background is also taken into account.
To be considered you must demonstrate:
- Minimum 3.6 weighted high school grade point average at time of application based on 4.0 scale
- A high GPA alone may not be enough to qualify. Typically, about 25% of our incoming class earns a 4.0 GPA and not all students who are eligible receive a scholarship.
- Difficulty of coursework and positive grade trend through high school
- Extraordinary academic achievement relative to high school community
Questions?
Keep in mind that scholarships are highly competitive. Not all students who are considered will receive an automatic consideration scholarship.
