Promise Programs and Grants
The Colorado Promise is a state program administered by the Colorado Department of Higher Education. Beginning in Fall 2024, MSU Denver students in their first two years of college with family incomes of $90,000 or less may be eligible for complete reimbursement of any out-of-pocket tuition and fees they pay. MSU Denver will notify students if they are eligible for the program in each year.
Students with family incomes of $60,000 or less may be eligible for MSU Denver’s Roadrunner Promise, which pays tuition and mandatory fees up front for up to four years of college. Students who are eligible for and take advantage of the Roadrunner Promise are not eligible for the Colorado Promise.
Indigenous & Native Peoples’ Grant
Through a combination of federal, state and institutional grants, MSU Denver will ensure Indigenous students’ tuition and mandatory published fees are fully covered beginning Fall 2022. The Indigenous & Native Peoples’ Grant is for undergraduate students who are Colorado residents and enrolled in one of 574 federally recognized Native nations. In the MSU Denver land acknowledgement, we identify this land as being the original home of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Nations, land that was frequently also inhabited by the Lakota, Ute, Kiowa, Comanche, Apache, Shoshone and others. Just as we honor the Displaced Aurarians who were forcibly removed from their homes so that our campus could be built, we also honor the Indigenous and Native Peoples who first called this land home by fully funding their tuition and fees to undergraduate programs at MSU Denver.
Dean’s Grant
