Affordability:
The Office of Global Education recognizes the importance of having affordable study abroad opportunities. In addition to financial aid, students are encouraged to apply for the following scholarships:
- Bejamin A. Gilman Scholarship – Each year, CU Denver has several students receive the Gilman Scholarship. This scholarship “enables students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad.” To be eligible, applicants must receive a Federal Pell Grant.
- Global Education Scholarship – The Office of Global Education facilitates an in-house scholarship for students studying abroad on most CU Denver | Anschutz programming.
- Third-Party Scholarships – Due to our status as a Minority Serving Institution (MSI), our students are eligible to apply for many scholarships with our third-party partners. Explore our scholarship page to learn more.
We would like to recognize the Reynold’s Fund for Global Business, as it provides a substantial discount in program fees for students participating on CU Denver Global Study Programs with the Business School.
