CU Boulder Chancellor's Achievement Scholarship

About the Scholarship

The Chancellor's Achievement Scholarship is CU Boulder's second non-resident award, paying $6,250 a year for four years to incoming first-year students, international applicants included.

Like the Presidential Scholarship it sets no grade or test threshold and needs no separate application. A student holds one award or the other, not both.

The university states it has no full-ride award and no scholarship allowing a non-resident to pay resident tuition, so plan around the remaining cost.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

$6,250 a year, renewable for four years, so $25,000 in total. It cannot be held alongside the Presidential Scholarship.

Eligibility

Entry as a non-resident first-year student, with non-resident status maintained; receiving an in-state tuition exception ends eligibility. There is no grade or test threshold, and test scores are not reviewed even if sent.

Eligible Countries

The university's scholarship FAQ states that international students are eligible and were considered for its non-resident scholarships, naming the Presidential and Chancellor's Achievement awards.
