- Be a first generation student (neither parent nor student has received a bachelor’s degree or higher)
- Be an incoming first-year undergraduate student
- Be a non-resident for tuition purposes
- Demonstrate significant financial need (this is typically those who qualify for the Federal Pell Grant) by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) along with requested financial aid documents
- Priority is given to those who are a recipient of either the CU Boulder Chancellor’s Achievement Scholarship or Presidential Scholarship
Submission:
- Family has many different definitions and it is different for each person. It is not just blood relatives but also those who have had a deep/emotional impact on your life. Describe your “family” to us, particularly those who make up your support system.
- Embarking on a college education can be overwhelming. Tell us how you are prepared for the challenges and what still concerns you.
