We are here to help!

The Career Center strives to engage students in career conversations early and often, in order to help you understand what brought you to college, how you can build experiences and relationships, and to realize your professional potential.

The Career Center recognizes that our students from historically underrepresented groups have continuously faced discrimination and inequitable access to career related resources throughout their life. The Career Center is committed to addressing this inequity and supporting our students achieving their professional development goals by providing the Equity Grant. The Equity Grant provides students from underrepresented groups with access to funding for professional development activities, expenses for professional attire, or covering travel expenses to attend a professional interview (just to name a few).

Students can access up to $1000 annually for these professional needs and must submit a grant application found on the Career Center’s website. Grant applications are reviewed monthly at the beginning of each month. When a grant application is accepted, students will be notified to discuss the potential repercussions of receiving the grant funding. Funds over $100 can have an impact on a student’s financial aid situation. Once the student understands the financial implications of accepting the grant, funds will be distributed about 2-3 weeks later. Funds will be distributed through the CU Denver Financial Aid team or through reimbursement of expenses incurred by the student.
