Established through an estate gift from Bill Hemingway, a longtimeÌýemployee of The Denver Post, the DAPS scholarship award is an automatic consideration award for incoming first-year students from a small group of Denver metro high schools. If you are offered this award, you will hear about it through communication about your financial aid package.

For the Fall 2026 entering class, the DAPS award is $1,000/year for four years. This amount is in addition to any other funding you may have learned about from Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder and CMDI thus far. To find out more information, please contact CMDI Admissions.Ìý
