Sharer Scholars Program

Program Update
The Sharer Scholars Program is no longer offered to newly admitted transfer students, but funding remains available to current recipients who meet the renewal requirements.

The Sharer Scholars Program was a scholarship offered to newly admitted resident transfer students who transfered to CU Boulder from a Colorado college or university and planned to graduate within two years.

The scholarship donors believe transfer students with grit, talent, motivation and drive can succeed at CU Boulder and that financial need should not be a barrier to success. The Sharer Scholars Program provides talented students with the financial, social and emotional support needed to successfully complete their degrees and prepare for careers after graduation.
