Scholarships & Resources

The Office of Veteran and Military Services (VMSS) and the Boots to Suits program work with veterans to find them the resources and support they need to make a successful transition from the military to the classroom and then on to the workforce. Additionally, many of these resources are also available to military-connected students.

There are scholarship opportunities that are only available to veteran and military-connected students. It’s important to know that some scholarships impact VA Education Benefits while others don’t. When you accept a scholarship, you’ll want to be sure you know if it will affect your benefits and how it will affect them.

Our on-campus service list includes both academic and wellness resources. Off-campus resources include crisis support, and financial and legal services.

CU Denver Land Acknowledgement

Acknowledging that we reside in the homelands of Indigenous Peoples is an important step in recognizing the history and the original stewards of these lands. Land acknowledgments must extend far beyond words, the United States has worked hard to erase the narratives of Indigenous Peoples over time. Land acknowledgment statements can help to remind us of the history, the contributions and the sacrifices Native peoples have made.

We honor and acknowledge that we are on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Ute nations. This area, specifically the confluence of the Platte and Cherry Creek Rivers was the epicenter for trade, information sharing, planning for the future, community, family and ally building, as well as conducting healing ceremonies for over 45 Indigenous Nations, including the Lakota, Kiowa, Comanche, Apache, Shoshone, Paiute, Zuni, Hopi among others.

We must recognize Indigenous peoples as the original stewards of this land and as these words of acknowledgment are spoken and heard, remember the ties these nations still have to their traditional homelands. Let us acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory and pay our respect to the diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land. Let us also give thanks to all Tribal Nations and the ancestors of this place.
