Our Opportunities

Welcome to the Western Colorado University scholarship opportunities homepage.

The general application for 2025-2026 scholarships open December 1, 2024 for all continuing and admitted students.

Applications completed before March 1, 2025, 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.
