Scholars College Courses
Join a college enrollment program for high-achieving, college-bound, first-generation high school seniors.
Are you a first-generation student planning to attend college? We're here to help.
First, you may be wondering what exactly a first-generation college student is. First-generation means that neither of your natural or adoptive parents completed a four-year college degree.
Pre-Collegiate programs are available on all the University of Colorado campuses to high-achieving, first-generation middle school and high school students who are planning to attend college. The programs provide students with academic support and guidance for applying to college.
At CU Denver, the Center for Pre-Collegiate and Academic Outreach Programs includes four programs,
- Pre-Collegiate Middle School Program for seventh and eighth graders
- Pre-Collegiate Development Program for high school students
- CU Denver Scholars Program for high school seniors who are ready to take college courses while they're still in high school
- Summer Bridge for students entering CU Denver in the fall to help them get an early start on their transition and earn some college credits.
Middle School
In this program, first-generation seventh and eighth graders who are planning to attend college get the guidance they need to be successful in high school.
