A degree from the University of Denver and the Ritchie School of Engineering & Computer Science is a strategic investment in your future. We’re dedicated to providing you with the necessary resources and assistance to alleviate the financial challenges associated with pursuing higher education. We provide a variety of financial aid opportunities, including undergraduate departmental scholarships, federal loans, and graduate research/teaching assistant positions.
Undergraduates are eligible for both merit and need-based aid delivered through the University of Denver’s Office of Financial Aid. We automatically consider all incoming undergraduate students for our departmental merit and need-based scholarships, if applicants complete DU’s Office of Financial Aid application and their FAFSA and CSS profile.
More information on financial aid, including private loans for international students and federal loans for domestic students can be found onDU's financial aid website.
Professional Master’s Degree Programs
Our professional programs in cybersecurity, systems engineering, and data science offer reduced tuition on a per-credit-hour basis for all admitted students. Therefore, we do not provide additional departmental scholarships, graduate teaching, or graduate research assistantships in these programs.
Traditional Master’s Degree Programs
Our traditional programs in engineering and computer science offer graduate teaching and graduate research assistantships. Although our assistantships are competitive, you are encouraged to apply before our priority admission deadline.
