Our Opportunities

This is where you can view scholarship opportunities. The 2025-26 CU Boulder Scholarship Application opened November 1, 2024.

Search help:

  • “Show Filters” allows you to select scholarship opportunities offered by CU Boulder schools, colleges, departments and programs.
  • Use “Search by Keyword” to find scholarships with a specific name or specific criteria. Examples include: “financial need”, “merit”, “first year”, “Colorado resident”.
  • Clicking on “External” under “Opportunities” will show you scholarship opportunities that are outside of CU Boulder, with links to the scholarship provider’s website. We don’t endorse any of these opportunities but provide them as a resource. Exercise caution and use your best judgment.

Please contact the Office of Scholarships Services with any questions.
