We do not offer any need-based aid to international students but are proud to offer generous merit scholarships to students with strong academic profiles. However, very few of these scholarships听will cover the full cost of a 快活app education. We are also 鈥渘eed-aware鈥 and consider the ability of a family to afford 快活app when finalizing admission decisions for students.

Costs

  • Additional quarters

    At the 快活app, the typical academic year includes fall, winter and spring quarters, or about nine months. Our tuition estimates assume that you are only studying during these quarters.

    However, we do offer classes in the summer quarter. If you want to stay in the United States and take classes during the summer, you will need to factor extra expenses into your calculation. Expenses for the summer should roughly equal those for one quarter of study during the traditional academic year.

  • Expenses for families

    U.S. immigration laws will allow you to bring your spouse and children with you to Denver while you study here at 快活app. However, this does mean that you will need to verify that you can pay for the living expenses of your family while they are here. Typically, this additional expense is approximately $4,000-$5,000 per dependent (spouse and each child), per academic year (9 months).

  • Health Insurance

    We require all 快活app students to have health insurance. You can choose either to join the 快活app Student Health Insurance Plan, or you can provide proof that you have health insurance from another source.

    See the听Health and Counseling Center website听for details on what qualifies as adequate health coverage for 快活app students.

  • Purchasing a laptop

    听It is very important that each 快活app student has access to their own computer. If you do not already have a laptop, you will need to purchase one to meet the 快活app听laptop requirement.

    The average cost of a new laptop is around $1,000, so you should factor this in to your expenses for your time here. See听information on pricing, recommended specifications and purchase options听on the Information Technology website.

Scholarships & Financing Your Education

  • Applying for scholarships

    When you submit your application to 快活app, you will automatically be considered for merit scholarships for international students. There is no additional application to fill out.

    Most of these scholarships are renewable; please note that none of them will cover the full cost of a 快活app education (with rare exceptions).

    Sending 快活app听your SAT or ACT scores and your class rank information with your application can help you to be as competitive as听possible for merit assistance.

  • Types of scholarships

    There are three primary types of merit scholarships available to international students.

    • Merit-based: $10,000 to $31,000 per year for first year students, $5,000 to $21,000 per year for transfer students
    • Music Activity Scholarship
      To be eligible, you must submit an audition to the Lamont School of Music. Visit the听听for more details.
    • Athletic Activity Grant
      Applicants who plan to participate in NCAA athletics can be considered for these scholarships. Contact the听听athletics staff for more details.
  • Employment

    International students may work on campus for a maximum of 20 hours per week when classes are in session and up to 37.5 hours per week during vacation periods. However, these positions are very limited.

    After nine months of enrollment, students may apply through听International Student and Scholar Services听for a permit to work off campus. These opportunities are also very limited. Dependents of students holding an F-1 visa may not work under any circumstances.
