Fund for Excellence
The CU Boulder Fund for Excellence provides a flexible funding source for student experiences on campus, along with addressing the most promising priorities in support of student success and CU Boulder's prominence as an institution of higher education.
鈥淚 have learned so much over the course of my four years at CU, but the biggest thing I have learned is that learning never ends! My educational experience will not stop when I leave campus, and I want to keep the same sense of curiosity for the world that I have always had. There are always new ideas, perspectives听and lessons to learn, and I will always be searching those out.鈥�
Student Emergency Fund
The Student Emergency Fund provides support for students who are facing emergency situations or unanticipated life events that could adversely affect their academic goals at CU Boulder.
鈥淭he Student Emergency Fund was a lifesaver as a first-generation student. Circumstances and life are constantly changing, and unfortunately, I fell into a scary space. The emergency fund gave me a lifeline to focus on being a student and person.鈥�
