The CU Parents Association has awarded $40,000 in scholarships to 40 undergraduate students at the University of Colorado at Boulder, according to Peter Simons, director of the Office of Parent Relations.

The scholarship awards are merit-based and are presented each spring. Scholarships are made possible by CU Parents Association fundraising efforts. Interested students must complete and submit an application by early March.

The CU Parents Association provides a variety of services to parents, students, faculty and the campus administration and sponsors numerous activities, including Parents Weekend, orientation activities, scholarships and grants.

Parents of undergraduate students enrolled at the university automatically become members of the CU Parents Association. No fees or dues are required.
