Eight current students in CCU's College of Adult and Graduate Studies will be awarded Boundless Opportunity Scholarships. The scholarship application will be open from March 28 to April 11, 2022.
Scholarship for Adult Students
CCU’s College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS) has been awarded a Boundless Opportunity Scholarship (BOS) grant from the Daniels Fund. The BOS grant is designed to benefit motivated non-traditional students who recognize the power of education to create a better life for themselves and their families.
These scholarships are specifically targeted to help students who are adult learners, including individuals who are returning to college; GED (General Education Diploma) recipients; former foster care youth; former juvenile justice youth; veterans entering or returning to college; and ROTC participants. Applicants must be currently enrolled and a legal resident of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, or Wyoming.
CCU recognizes that adult learners have limited opportunities for scholarships and financial assistance and often incur additional expenses from online course fees, child care, and elder care.
