Scholarships offer students another way to help pay their educational expenses. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit, skill, or a unique characteristic. Students are highly encouraged to apply for as many scholarships as they can.
Institutional and Title VII funding for CU Anschutz students:
For undergraduate and graduate/professional students at the Anschutz Medical Campus, institutional financial aid may also make up part of the financial aid package.
Additionally, there are Federal Title VII funds, such as the Scholarships to Disadvantaged Students (SDS), for specific health care fields, such as Dentistry, Medicine, and Pharmacy.
Scholarships may be available through individual CU Anschutz Medical Campus schools, so students are encouraged to visit their school's web site or contact their school, such as the School of Medicine and School of Pharmacy.
