You could qualify for a $1,500 scholarship!

If eligible, you will receive a one-time scholarship of up to $1,500 for the Fall 2024 semester. This scholarship can be used to help cover tuition, fees, books, and equipment.

If your program of study is in one of the high-priority pathways, and if you have completed your Financial Aid application, you will automatically be awarded the $1,500 as long as you stay enrolled and you are not already receiving COSI funds. If this is the case, you will see Opportunity Next on your financial aid award after it has been allocated to you, closer to the fall semester start date. Monitor your award through myPikesPeak portal for updates. Video: How to check your financial aid file
