Key Questions
Is this program on-campus or virtual?
The Colorado Scholars Program is schedule for Friday, July 30, 2021. We are tentatively planning for an in-person, on campus event.
Can I bring my parents/guests?
Yes! Invited students are allowed to bring one guest with them to the Colorado Scholars program.
I’m not sure that I want to attend Colorado College—should I still attend the program?
Absolutely! The Colorado Scholar Program is intended to be 1) an introduction to the liberal arts and attending a liberal arts college, 2) a chance to connect and learn more about the college application process from staff and students at CC, and 3) an awards program meant to recognize your hard work both in your school and your community. You will hear from Colorado College students, staff, and faculty about the benefits of college and of the liberal arts and listen to faculty members and students speak about transitioning into college. We hope it will spark some questions and provide some answers for you in your college search.
What should I prepare for the program?
Just bring yourself, your parents/guests, and your curiosity about attending a liberal arts college! We will provide you with more information about the college search process as well as present you with an award honoring your academic performance and community impact.
