Scholarships have always been vital to the success our students. They can help UNC attract and retain students from under-represented populations and help more students complete their degree without taking on debt. Scholarships help recruit talented students that will maintain UNCs excellence in academics, the arts and athletics.

However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, scholarships have become more important than ever. For many students, COVID has made completing a college education feel further away than ever before. In a recent survey conducted by UNC, 42.5% of students who responded indicated an increased need for financial aid due to COVID. Your gift to the University of Northern Colorado Scholarship Fund will provide critical financial support to help turn the dream of a college degree into a reality.
