Sending in your Scholarship Money

Drop-off Payment

During business hours: Office of Financial Aid front desk in the Regent Administrative Center

Outside of business hours: Drop box by the south door of the Regent Administrative Center

 Be sure to put your private scholarship check in an envelope and include your Student ID number and name. Otherwise, we won't be able to process your scholarship on your account.

Mailing payments

Ask your donors to mail scholarship checks at least one month before the bill due date to avoid incurring late payment fees. Our office must receive your scholarship check by 5 p.m. on the first day of classes to guarantee no late fees. You're responsible for paying your bill if a check arrives late. We cannot waive late fees if it applies to the bill after the due date. Learn about timing of scholarships and your bill.

 To expedite processing: you may provide your scholarship donor with your student ID and the Scholarship Donor form to include with the scholarship check. Checks should be payable to University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder. 

Mail scholarship checks to:

University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder
Scholarship Services
77 UCB
Boulder, CO 80309-0077

We encourage you to write thank you notes to your scholarship donor(s). Expressing appreciation to donors for their interest in and support of higher education is an important part of receiving a scholarship.

Scholarship Check Distribution

Scholarship checks for more than $2,500 will be split equally between fall and spring terms. Scholarships for $2,500 or less will be applied to your student account in full during the term in which the check is received.
