Sponsored Students:
Students who are supported by the state of Colorado or one of the WICHE states. These students pay only tuition and student fees.
- WICHE: Certified residents of the following cooperating Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education states: Alaska*, Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. In order to be eligible for financial support, contact must be made with the state certifying officer each year for residency certification. In most states, the deadline for receiving completed applications for residency certification is October 15 of the year preceding admission. The number of positions supported by each WICHE state is limited. Residency certification by a WICHE state is not a guarantee of admission to the professional veterinary medicine program.
*Note: No funding has been appropriated for Alaska since 1994. Please contact certifying office if you have questions. Alaskan applicants will be placed in non-sponsored category.)
Contact information for the WICHE certifying officers can be found at http://www.wiche.edu/SEP/PSEP/cert-off.htm
- ELIGIBLE COLORADO: Applicants who are domiciled (not the same as "residency") in Colorado for one year or more prior to the date of matriculation in the veterinary program are eligible to be included in the Colorado pool, and if qualified, will have their obligation to pay a support fee funded by the State of Colorado.
