Commitment to Colorado

As part of its role and mission to provide Colorado students with access to higher education, CSU-Pueblo historically has tried to ensure that financial challenges not prevent any undergraduate Colorado student who is admitted to the University from attending.  Continuing in this tradition, Colorado State University-Pueblo is formalizing its Commitment to Colorado by making this promise:  Starting in Fall 2011 CSU-Pueblo will tap a variety of sources – federal, state, and institutional – to cover 100 percent of the cost of base tuition and mandatory student fees for full-time resident undergraduate students who receive a Pell grant and have a family Adjusted Gross Income of less than $50,000.
