Forever Buffs First Generation Scholarship

The First Generation Scholarship is awarded to undergraduate residents and nonresidents whose parent(s) or legal guardians do not have a bachelor’s degree. As an Alumni Association, we are already welcoming new Forever Buffs into the community before students even step on campus. This scholarship supports first generation students during their journey as Buffs and builds an early connection between them and the Alumni Association.

Eligibility:

• Incoming freshman (resident or nonresident) or current undergraduate degree-seeking student, enrolled full-time at CU Boulder.
• Be a first generation student (neither parent nor student has received a bachelor’s degree or higher).
• Respond to essay question about the impact of being a first generation student.
• GPA requirement: 3.25+
