New Meritus Scholars Applicants & Returning Participants

New applicants, by completing the Meritus Scholars application you provide the information needed to create your MSU Denver credentials, which you will use when completing the online registration.

Returning participants please complete the application if you have not attended courses within the last year.  We will need your information to reactivate your credentials so you have them available for use when you complete the online registration form.

If you took courses in the Fall of 2024 or the Spring of 2025, you do not need to complete another application.
