The University of Colorado offers a variety of scholarship options for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit-based scholarships, such as the Chancellor’s Achievement Scholarship, recognize academic excellence. Need-based options, like the CU Boulder Promise, support low-income students.
Departmental scholarships are available for specific majors, while external scholarships, such as the Boettcher Foundation Scholarship, provide additional funding. Students should complete the FAFSA or CASFA to qualify for need-based aid and explore the CU Boulder scholarship application portal for university-specific opportunities. Deadlines and eligibility criteria vary, so early research is recommended.
