DU Departmental Scholarship Catalog
Over 500 gift and endowed scholarships are awarded every year to current DU students by academic departments on campus. The majority of these scholarships are available to undergraduate students entering their second, third or fourth year at the University after they’ve taken classes in their chosen major. Eligibility for need-based scholarships is determined by your financial aid application; merit-based scholarships are awarded based on academic success or other accomplishments. (Please note: This catalog does not include University scholarships typically awarded upon admission.)
Most of these scholarships require an application to be considered, which is available in the spring each year. The 2022-23 application is closed. The application for the 2023-24 academic year will be available in February 2023.
