MSU Denver's financial aid office?

Hello everyone, I'm applying to Metropolitan State University of Denver and I need some info on their financial aid office. What was your experience working with them, and which types of aid were you able to get? Thanks for any help!

Hello! In general, students have found the financial aid office at MSU Denver to be helpful and willing to answer questions and address concerns. But every individual experience might differ, so it's important to keep that in mind.

Regarding the types of aid offered at MSU Denver, there are several options available. These include federal aid such as grants (for example, Pell Grants and FSEOG) and loans (such as Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans), as well as work-study opportunities. There are also scholarships available, which can be merit-based, need-based, or geared towards specific groups of students like first-generation or minority students. MSU Denver also offers institutional grants, such as the Denver Scholarship Foundation (DSF) and the Colorado Opportunity Fund (COF).

I recommend starting by filling out your FAFSA to determine your eligibility for federal financial aid and get a better understanding of the assistance you might receive. In addition, be sure to research and apply to scholarships both within MSU Denver and from external sources. Reach out to the financial aid office with any specific questions about their process or to discuss your own financial situation and options.

Best of luck with your applications!
