Undergraduate Financial Aid
Your financial aid package may include a mix of federal grants, loans and scholarships. Most packages are renewable throughout your undergraduate enrollment if you continue to meet eligibility requirements.
Daniels Opportunity Scholarship
University College is the proud recipient of the Daniels Opportunity Scholarship. The Daniels Fund is dedicated to “making life better…one individual at a time.” The grant will provide ten eligible BACP students with $1,250 per year for two years to help mitigate the costs of returning to school as an adult learner. To qualify for the scholarship, applicants must demonstrate: financial need, capacity for academic success, and potential for contribution to the University learning community. One-half of all scholarships given will be awarded to graduates from Colorado community colleges.
Students who are fully admitted to the BACP are eligible for scholarship consideration. Award decisions will be made upon receipt of the Daniels Opportunity Scholarship Application and a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and all supplemental forms required by the University of Denver’s Office of Financial Aid. Students who have applied for other BACP scholarships within the past year are not eligible to apply for the Daniels Opportunity Scholarship until one year from the date of initial application. Please check with the University College Admissions Coordinator if you have questions.
Students who are awarded the scholarship must remain enrolled in 1 class per quarter for 4 quarters per year. If a student does not enroll for any given quarter, award money for that quarter will be forfeited.
