Our Opportunities
Welcome to the Western Colorado University scholarship opportunities homepage.
The general application for 2026-2027 scholarships open December 15, 2025 for all continuing and admitted students.
Applications completed before March 1, 2026, receive priority consideration, but applications submitted after March 1 will be considered 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.
