Program Participation Scholarship

UCCS Campus Recreation offers financial assistance to currently enrolled UCCS students to participate in recreation programs through our program participation scholarships. This scholarship program supports the mission, values and statement of inclusion of UCCS Campus Recreation

Applicants must be a currently enrolled student at UCCS. Scholarships cannot be transferred and must be solely utilized by the UCCS student applying for the scholarship. 

There are two ways to apply for scholarships.

Option One: 

• Step 1: Visit campusrec.uccs.edu and click on "Registration"
• Step 2: Click on "Program Participation Scholarship" under "Classification"
• Step 3: Select "UCCS Campus Rec Program Participation Scholarship"
• Step 4: Click on "Sign In" and enter your UCCS credentials
• Step 5: Click on "Register"

Option Two:

• Fill out the form linked at the top of this page and submit the form to Mandy McBroom at mmcbroom@uccs.edu.

No, Campus Recreation will confirm that status upon receiving your scholarship application.

If you are approved for a scholarship after paying full price for program participation and want to apply that scholarship to a program that is not yet underway, we will credit your student Campus Recreation account to reflect your eligibility scholarship level. Scholarships cannot be applied to a program that is currently underway or already over.

The UCCS Campus Recreation Department will process your application within one week upon receipt of your application form and contact you with the status of approval.

The UCCS Campus Recreation Department will contact you via email and follow-up with a phone call or text after scholarship status determination.
