Undergraduate Student Funding Possibilities—Transfers
Thank you for your interest in the University of Colorado at Boulder!
- International students are considered nonresident students and pay nonresident tuition rates.
- To keep tuition costs down for nonresident students, the university has guaranteed a four-year fixed tuition rate for these students. Learn more >>
CU-Boulder offers two scholarships for transfer international students. See the list below to learn more:
- The Norlin Scholars Program is a merit-based award of $3,000 per year. The length of the award varies, and depends on the applicant. A separate application is required and the deadline is February 1. Further information can be found at the following website: www.colorado.edu/norlinscholars
- Athletic and Music Scholarships. On occasion, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, and the College of Music, offer full or partial scholarships for very talented individuals. For more information:

With the exception of a few scholarships for outstanding musicians and athletes, there are no international student scholarships available from the University of Colorado at Boulder that will cover the full costs for undergraduate students. International students are not eligible for U.S. federal or state financial aid.
Many funding opportunities outside of the university can be found on the document prepared by CU-Boulder’s Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) located at www.colorado.edu/oie/isss/documents/FinAid.pdf.
