Our Opportunities
Welcome to the Western Colorado University Scholarship Opportunities Homepage.
The general scholarship application for 2024-2025 opens
• December 1, 2023 for continuing students
• Later in December for new and transfer students
Applications completed before March 1, 2024, receive priority consideration, but we do consider applications submitted later for scholarships that are not awarded in the first round of consideration.
Although certain scholarships are designed to promote diversity, applicants will be considered without preference to race, sex, color, or national origin.
