Most scholarships require a student to be enrolled at least half-time, be degree-seeking, be making satisfactory academic progress, and not be in default on a federal education loan or owe a repayment on a federal or state grant to receive a scholarship.
Students should refer to the MSU Denver scholarship website, msudenver.edu/financial-aid/scholarships, for information regarding a comprehensive list of scholarships including access to free online scholarship searches.
Presidential Scholarships: MSU Denver’s Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships offers Presidential Academic Achievement Scholarship awards to both incoming, continuing and transfer students. These scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted. Due to limited funding, it is recommended that students complete a FAFSA or CASFA as soon as the application becomes available and complete any remaining financial aid documents requested as soon as possible. Students who have a completed financial aid file and a most recent GPA of 3.25 or better will be considered, there is no additional application required.
Foundation Scholarships: The MSU Denver Foundation offers numerous scholarship opportunities for both incoming and continuing students. By submitting the Metropolitan State University of Denver Scholarship Application by March 1st “Priority Consideration Deadline” each year, you will automatically be considered for all MSU Denver Foundation scholarships for which you are eligible for the next academic year. While a FAFSA or a CASFA is not required, it is highly recommended that students complete one of these applications to maximize scholarship opportunities. The MSU Denver Scholarship Application is available for online submission at msudenver.academicworks.com.
Athletic Scholarships: MSU Denver has a limited number of athletic scholarships. For additional information, contact the MSU Denver Intercollegiate Athletics Office (303-615-0888).
Receipt of a scholarship may affect a student’s financial aid award because students receiving federal and/or state aid are limited in the maximum amount and type of aid that can be received. A student whose full need has been met by other types of financial aid prior to receipt of a scholarship will have that aid reduced by the amount of the scholarship. If the student’s full eligibility has not been met, the scholarship will be allowed to satisfy the unmet need. Each student’s situation is treated individually. All scholarships are based on the student’s continued eligibility and available funding. Scholarships are awarded based upon Fall and Spring enrollment, if a student does not return for Spring semester that funding may be reallocated to another student.
