Walter Scott, Jr. Undergraduate Scholarships

The Walter Scott, Jr. Scholarships, which encourage and promote the engineering profession, benefit all engineering disciplines. The scholarships allow the College to recruit and retain the best students from Colorado, year after year.

Walter Scott, Jr.

“Helping young people with their education is one of the finest investments we can possibly make as a society.”

Colorado State University engineering alumnus Walter Scott, Jr. not only made the largest gift in the history of the university, but he also expanded his gift shortly before his death in September 2021. His historical giving to CSU through his foundation totals $64.2 million.

The hallmark of the gift was the creation of the Walter Scott, Jr. Undergraduate Scholarships, which initially funded approximately 20 scholarships per year and will now fund 25 scholarship per year (starting in the fall of 2022) to new freshmen who demonstrate exceptional accomplishments and intellectual promise.

Why become a Scott Scholar?
