Scholarships

Are you seeking educational funding opportunities?  A wide range of scholarships and other funding opportunities are available through the Office of Financial Aid.

The College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder awards more than 200 scholarships to both incoming freshmen and continuing students annually. Scholarships are awarded by the Dean’s Office and most departments based on merit, financial need, or a combination of both considerations. The qualifications for scholarships vary based on the opportunity and the donor’s original intent.

Many of these opportunities can be found through the CU Boulder Scholarship Application page and on .

To complete and submit the CU Boulder Scholarship Application, please follow these instructions:

  • Navigate to the “Student” tab in MyCUInfo
  • Click on the “Financial Aid” tab
  • Click on “Apply for Scholarships”
  • Complete the general application

The Office of Financial Aid provides in-depth information and resources about both private and public scholarship opportunities at CU Boulder and tips on how to apply on their website.
