Financial Aid

Financial aid is a resource for students and parents seeking monetary assistance to help pay the costs of higher education. Eligible students who demonstrate financial need may receive assistance from the federal government and/or the State of Colorado in the form of grants, loans, work study and/or scholarship funds. Students may obtain information from Student Financial Services, Administration Building, Room 212, telephone (719) 549-2753. Students may obtain further financial aid information by logging onto: http://www.csupueblo.edu/student-financial-services/index.html.

The primary responsibility for educational costs resides with the student and the student’s family. Assistance offered through financial aid is intended to supplement the family contribution. Funds are awarded on a first-come, financial need as defined by the FAFSA, and fund availability.
