If you qualify for the Pack Promise, you will be automatically awarded free tuition for the fall 2023 and spring 2024 semester. If you have any questions, please contact financialaid@csupueblo.edu.
The Pack Promise Scholarship program will provide awards for the remaining amount of in-state tuition after all state, federal, and institutional grant and scholarship aid has been awarded.
To determine the Pack Promise amount, the tuition charged is reduced by the total dollar amount awarded from other student financial aid awards for the academic year, including, state and federal grants, and all CSU Pueblo institutional grants and scholarships.
