Start a Scholarship

Supporting our students remains a pivotal mission for the College of Applied Human Sciences at Colorado State University, and we invite you to join us in this important effort.

With one of the largest scholarship programs on campus, we proudly award around 200 scholarships annually totaling over $300,000. In fact, since 2007, our many gifted and talented students have received over 1,000 scholarships or more than $1,500,000. This is an extraordinary achievement and a testament not only to our talented students, but to the caring dedication and generous spirits of our donors.

A scholarship gift is a powerful way to encourage our students to pursue a career that ignites their passions. We believe that a quality and unique educational experience is an important part of developing our industries’ future leaders. Because of your gifts, students who wouldn’t normally be able to participate in additional hands-on learning opportunities like internships, service-learning, and competitions outside of the classroom will now have the freedom to enrich their own student experiences. Your donations allow students to make the most of their time at CSU.

Thank you for considering a scholarship gift and investing in our collective future. If you would like more information on how you can join our family of donors, please contact Kim Winger at 970-491-2797 or at Kim.Winger@colostate.edu.

Learn more about ways you can support scholarships for students

While supporting today’s students, scholarship gifts can also honor those who have made a difference in your life. Named scholarships can pay tribute to a loved one or special faculty member, preserve a family name, or highlight a company presence. Scholarships connect the past, present and future!

Each scholarship gift is unique because it is based on your wishes. For example, you may:

  • Donate any amount to AHS Students First Scholarship Fund – which awards scholarships to freshman students with high scholastic standing each year.
  • Make a gift to one of over 200 existing scholarships in our College. We can help find the right one for you, or you can browse the current scholarships here.
  • Start your own annual scholarship in your name, in memory of a loved one, or in honor of a colleague or former professor. Annual scholarships can be established with a gift of $1,000 (about $83 per month.)
  • Establish an endowment to award scholarships in perpetuity with a $25,000 gift or greater, which can be funded at one time or up to five years. Your endowment will support students for generations!
