Who Is Considered A Sponsored Student At CU Denver?
A Sponsored Student is a student who meets the following two requirements:
- The student receives funding to attend CU Denver from a third party organization (the Sponsor). Sponsors are typically government organizations or private companies.
- The student's sponsor will be billed directly for the student's tuition and fees by the University of Colorado Denver.
A student is not classified as a “Sponsored Student” when the student receives his/her scholarship funds directly and remains responsible to pay CU Denver for tuition and fees through the Student Account. This student is considered a "Scholarship Recipient" and is not managed by the Sponsored Student Coordinator.
