I'm an international student looking into applying to Colorado College, and I'm wondering if they offer any scholarships specifically for students like me. Can anyone share some insight or point me toward resources for scholarships at Colorado College?
Colorado College does indeed offer financial aid to international students. Although the college doesn't have scholarships specifically for international students, it uses a need-blind admission policy for all applicants which means your ability to pay doesn't influence the admission decision.
However, unlike U.S. citizens and permanent residents, international students are required to demonstrate the ability to finance their education at Colorado College. If admitted, you could be eligible for need-based institutional aid. The amount of this need-based aid will be decided based on the financial information you and your family provide on the CSS Profile, which must be submitted as part of your application.
Keep in mind, Colorado College is one of the few colleges in the U.S. that follows a Block Plan. This unique setup, which has you taking one class at a time for three and a half weeks, might have implications for budgeting and financial planning that you'll want to consider.
I would recommend checking out the College's Financial Aid website and contacting their Financial Aid office directly for the most current and accurate information on scholarships and financial aid for international students.
