CMCI ADVISORY BOARD SCHOLARSHIP
Selection statement of purpose
Scholarships within the college are awarded to provide financial support based on need, academic achievement, and/or other specified criteria as determined by the fund agreement for Donor/Gift Funded scholarships or the awarding department for Institutional/Departmental scholarships.
The donor sets the criteria for recipient selection (i.e., financial need, field of study). Scholarships are awarded for one academic year. Institutional funded scholarship selection criteria will be determined prior to review and selection of applicants and will be documented annually.
Criteria: The Fund will be used to provide scholarship awards for students enrolled in the College of Media, Communication and Information (CMCI) at the University of Colorado Boulder, who have completed CMCI’s summer bridge program for first generation students, Pathways to Excellence, or its successor. Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) students are especially encouraged to apply for scholarship awards from this Fund; however, an applicant’s race and/or national origin will not be considered a factor in the selection process.
Scholarships will be awarded for one academic year and are renewable based on criteria established by the University.
Selection Criteria
Applications are reviewed holistically, and selection criteria may include, but is not limited to, academic record, leadership experience, extracurricular involvement, community service, employment, essays, and in some cases, financial need as determined by the FAFSA/CASFA.
Essays: Quality of writing and content are weighed heavily.
Financial Need: The FAFSA and the Colorado Application for State Financial Aid (“CASFA”) are the mechanisms approved for calculating financial need for need-based scholarship awarding.
