Financial Aid
The University of Denver Office of Financial Aid works with each admitted student to make DU affordable. We offer both merit- and need-based aid to help students fund their tuition and living expenses. Your financial aid package may include a mix of federal, state and institutional grants, loans and scholarships. Most packages are renewable throughout your four years at DU if you continue to meet eligibility requirements. Each year, DU awards more than $42 million in financial assistance to undergraduates.
The Office of Financial Aid is the primary source of and assistance with funding your education at DU. Parents and students should contact the office of Financial Aid for information on funding a college education including financial aid forms, scholarships, grants, loans and other forms of financial aid at 303-871-4020.
The Center for Multicultural Excellence (CME) recognizes the challenges that can arise from funding a private education. Many students and their families struggle to pay for college and maneuver successfully through the federal financial aid system.
With this in mind, the staff of CME collaborates with the Office of Financial Aid to disseminate information regarding financial aid at the University of Denver; offers a limited number of college workstudy positions; and collects information on both local and national scholarships.
In addition, CME provides assistance in completing scholarship applications and finding answers to financial aid questions.
