Overview

Financial Information

• Scholarships and Financial Aid:
  At the University of Colorado Boulder, our awarding policy gives priority to the neediest students, as determined by the FAFSA. Last academic year, over $238 million of financial aid was awarded. Typically more than half of the student body receives some form of aid–scholarships, grants, loans or work-study employment.
• Tuition and Fees:
  The CU Boulder Guarantee will allow students and families to count on the same rate of tuition and fees for four consecutive years. This enables Colorado families to plan for the entire four-year tuition and mandatory fee costs.
