Colorado State University Global Waives Application Fees October 15-17

Denver, Co. (Oct. 15, 2024) – Colorado State University Global (CSU Global) is proud to participate in the Colorado Department of Higher Education’s (CDHE) 2024 Free Application Days campaign, designed to inspire more Coloradans to continue their education.

From Oct. 15 through Oct. 17, the Colorado State University System’s 100% online campus will waive application fees for all Colorado residents, making it free for anyone to submit an application. The statewide campaign is designed to increase Colorado’s college-going and FAFSA and CASFA completion rates, as well as support low-income and first-generation students.

Applicants can use code “FREEAPPDAYSCO” to waive the $25 fee, which is active through the end of the 2024 calendar year.

By waiving application fees, Colorado Free Application Days aims to improve access to further education and training, which is becoming increasingly critical in the state’s rapidly-changing economy. The 2023 Colorado Talent Pipeline Report identified that 94.7% of Colorado’s Tier 1 top jobs and 64.7% of Tier 2 top jobs require a credential beyond high school. However, only 62.9% of Coloradans 25-64 years old hold a postsecondary credential, indicating a supply-and-demand gap for some occupations. In response to these workforce demands, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education set a strategic goal to increase the number of Coloradans benefiting from valuable career skills, obtained while in high school or via postsecondary education, that enable additional lifetime earnings greater than the cost of attendance.

Last year, Colorado public colleges and universities received 64,784 applications during Colorado Free Application Days.

CSU Global is honored to participate in this three day-long event to encourage learners to continue their education and increase their opportunities for professional success.
