Each year, the Alumni Association awards scholarships to full-time
students at CSU-Pueblo. Awards are based on academic
achievement, extracurricular or community activities and
financial need for assistance. The program began in 1984 with
one scholarship, and to date, we have provided nearly $200,000
in scholarships to over 100 deserving students. As another
benefit to our alumni, all recipients must be relatives of
CSU-Pueblo alumni. Funding for the scholarship program comes
from the generosity of our alumni contributions through the
Annual Fund and from royalties received from the MBNA alumni
credit card program. We also have partnered with Worldwide
Gourmet Foods in our holiday Shopping for Scholarships program
where all proceeds go toward scholarships for alumni family
members. Call the Office of Alumni Relations at 719-549-2810 for
more information, or to have us send you the official
scholarship application form.
