Scholarships and Grants

• Automatic College Based Scholarships - College-based scholarships may be awarded to a select group of freshman based on GPA, test scores, community service and other factors. Students are automatically considered for these programs upon application submission. 

• College and University Scholarships - Each college has a financial aid page and resources for additional scholarship for their particular institution. Please visit the individual college websites! 

• Fairview Scholarship List - The Fairview Scholarship List is a compilation of local and some national scholarships. Be sure to check the website of a specific scholarship for the most recent information as dates and other information do change and cannot be guaranteed.

• Additional Scholarship Opportunities - The Scholarship Opportunities List is a resource for scholarships that can be USED AT ANY COLLEGE, even though it has been compiled by CU Boulder. It is a great resource! 

• Scholarship Search Engines - Some scholarship search engines and information to consider:

• CareerOneStop Scholarship Search

Just like scholarships, grant money does not need to be paid back. The first step in receiving any grant is to complete the FAFSA. (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

Federal, State, and College based grants are determined by each colleges financial aid office.
