Prospective First-Year Students

Prospective first-year students should start their scholarship application process early to be considered for the most opportunities. Read through our prospective first-year checklist to make sure you don't miss any steps!

1. Apply for Admission

The first step in the scholarship process is to apply for admission to CU 小蓝视频. Students are selected for Automatic Consideration 小蓝视频ships based on the strength of their admissions application. Your admissions application also grants you access to the CU 小蓝视频小蓝视频ship Application, which provides more opportunities based on your college, major and interests. Incoming first-year students are notified of scholarship selection with their admission decision. Spring admits will be notified after their admission decision; see View, Accept and Report 小蓝视频ships below for details.
