Some foreign students receive support from their own governments. Foreign students interested in financial support from international agencies under country and institutional programs or from the U.S. government may obtain pertinent information from the cultural affairs officers at United States embassies. The University of Colorado at Boulder offers a limited number of assistantships and fellowships to some foreign graduate students after their first year. As a general practice, teaching assistantships for the first year foreign students are not offered. Residency for Tuition Purposes Students must establish residency to avoid paying the higher non-resident tuition.
Colorado residency is defined by state statue.
It requires that a person be domiciled in Colorado twelve consecutive monthes immediately preceding registration for the semester in which resident status is desired. Establishing residency requires much documentation.
