The Indigenous & Native Peoples’ Grant is designed to provide funds for tuition and fees 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.
The Indigenous and Native Peoples’ Grant will cover the student’s share of in-state tuition and fees for regular classes up to 15 credit hours per semester. Students are required to file either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Colorado Application for State Financial Aid (CASFA) and can utilize this award for their first bachelor’s degree or certificate.
