Engineering Scholarships

The University of Colorado Denver offers a number of scholarship opportunities for students.

Undergraduate engineering students can apply for scholarships designated specifically for engineering students as a way to recognize and encourage academic excellence.

In addition, the College of Engineering and Applied Science has several National Science Foundation scholarships available to new and financially eligible CU Denver students enrolled full-time in one of the four engineering majors.

College of Engineering Scholarships

The College of Engineering and Applied Science makes available a variety of undergraduate scholarship funds generously given by industry, alumni and other donors to support the education of engineering students.

Qualifications:

  • All recipients must be registered for 6 or more credit hours in the semester during which the awards are made.
  • Although some industry donor contracts allow recipients to have GPAs as low as 2.75, students with GPAs below 3.0 are generally not awarded scholarships because of competition.
  • Dean’s scholarship applicants must be paying in-state tuition and have at least a 3.0 GPA, but they do not need to show unmet financial need.

How to apply:

Students may apply for college-based scholarships through the university. The engineering scholarship application is found online and is new for the 2010-1011 academic year. Please visit scholarships to learn about engineering and university scholarship programs and application deadlines.
