The CSU Commitment to Colorado
The Colorado State University System launched CSU's Commitment to Colorado, a new financial aid program to assist lower and middle-income students with tuition and fees. With this commitment, CSU is making it clear to Colorado parents and families that a university education is an option for all our children.
The Commitment to Colorado programs at CSU and CSU-Pueblo will go into effect fall 2011. To be eligible, students must be a Colorado resident, undergraduate pursuing their first bachelor's degree.
The Colorado State University System has three campuses, each with very distinct roles and missions. The campuses serve the state, region, country, and world, educating about 31,000 new and returning scholars annually. Highly skilled graduates number more than 7,300 a year, and more than 198,000 alumni live throughout the state, nation and world. The system involves a total operating budget of $870 million, with annual research expenditures totaling $328 million.

The campuses include:
Colorado State University in Fort Collins, a doctoral-granting research university, was founded in 1870 as the state's land-grant institution. CSU has four unique statewide service entities (Colorado State Forest Service, CSU Extension, Agricultural Experimental Center and the Colorado Water Institute), and a student body of 25,000.
Colorado State University-Pueblo serves as a designated Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), and is Colorado's fastest growing university with a student body of more than 5,000.
CSU-Global Campus is an online university, serving non- traditional students.
CSU Extension has offices in 59 of 64 Colorado counties delivering community-oriented research-based information, educational and 4-H programs. CSU is home to several top centers and programs, including the top-ranked veterinary medicine program in the nation.
The Board of Governors and the CSU System Chancellor work to further the roles and missions of its three universities to ensure campus leadership has the resources to be integral contributors to the economic development of the state. Work force education, research funding, statewide public service and new business and product development are some of the areas where the institutions are excelling.
