Yearly Programs & Events We Proudly Support:
Veteran Mentorship and Transition Program
Our Veteran Mentorship and Transition Program is designed to enable Student Veterans with the ability to succeed in the civilian business world. The program matches CU Boulder Veterans (mentees) from all branches of service and backgrounds with industry professionals (mentors) based on our Veterans’ career aspirations / fields of study. The Mentee will not only meet with their industry Mentor on a monthly basis, but will also complete a series of meetings with their Academic Advisor and Career Counselor and participate in several career related workshops and transition events. Mentees will gain critical information about their potential career choices and develop valuable insight and leadership skills from their mentor. Upon completion of the program the Mentee will receive a Completion Certificate and a custom tailored suit from Brooks Brothers that can be used for professional development and interviews.
CU Boulder Veterans Scholarship Fund
The CU Boulder Veterans Alumni Association Scholarship is for undergraduate students who have honorably served their country, and are demonstrating a continued service to the community as they attend the University of Colorado Boulder. Service to others, Leadership, Teamwork, and the Forever Buffs Spirit are extremely important to the Forever Buffs Veterans. We are looking to support student veterans who have demonstrated these attributes and are seeking higher education. We are honored to support those brave men and women who provided freedom to our nation and will eventually stand with us, “Shoulder to Shoulder” as Alumni of the University of Colorado Boulder.
Choose CU Boulder Alumni Association Veterans Scholarship Fund from the Designation drop-down menu.
