Undergraduate Grants
蜜桃传媒破解版下载 provides grants to eligible undergraduate students as part of their financial aid offer. Grants are free money and do not have to be repaid.
How to Apply
Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year to be considered. Grant funding is limited and is not guaranteed; it is provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
Grant Eligibility
Grants are offered to students who have significant financial need as determined by information on the FAFSA, as well as information submitted to and verified by 蜜桃传媒破解版下载's Office of Financial Aid. Grant availability is based on funding at the time the grant is offered. A student may be offered one grant, or a combination of different types of grants. However, it's not possible for a student to receive all the grants we offer, even with exceptional need.
What's considered significant financial need?
In previous years, Colorado residents with an 18,000 Student Aid Index (SAI) or less were more likely to be considered for grants than a family with a higher SAI. The SAI is a formula calculated by the FAFSA which helps schools determine financial aid eligibility.
Types of Grants
We offer the following types of grants:

Federal Grants
All students are considered for the following federal grants:
The Federal Pell Grant is given to students with significant financial need. Students are notified of their Pell eligibility upon submission of the FAFSA. For 2024-25 the minimum Pell Grant amount is $740 and the maximum amount is $7,395. The amount of Pell you're eligible for is based on your SAI. While some grants are limited and eventually run out, the Pell Grant is available year-round for eligible students.
Enrollment: Grants are offered based on full-time enrollment (12+ credit hours) and will be prorated if enrollment is less than full time (1 to 11 credit hours).
Limitations: The Pell Grant has a Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU) limitation. Over a lifetime, a student may only receive the equivalent of six years of Pell Grant funding. Each academic year (fall & spring semester) counts as one year. Summer counts as half of a year.
FSEOG is a federal grant given to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need who enroll at least half time (6+ credit hours). Students with the lowest SAIs are given priority consideration for awards up to $3,000 and a matching institutional grant up to $1,000.
State Grants
Colorado Student Grant
The Colorado Student Grant, funded by the Colorado General Assembly, considers resident undergraduate students with an SAI of 9,000 or lower who enroll at least half time (6+ credit hours).
