action to achieve that end. The university does not discriminate in its
educational and employment programs and activities on the basis of race,

CU Selected for NACME
Scholarship Program
CU
has been selected as one of four universities nationally to be added to
the NACME Block Grant Scholarship Program. NACME (the National Action
Council for Minorities in Engineering) was instituted by the National
Academy of Engineering in 1974 to help lead the national effort to
increase the representation of successful African American, American
Indian and Latino women and men in engineering and technology, math- and
science-based careers.
NACME
will award the college $25,000 annually for the next five years (starting
in 2004-05) to support at least 10 underrepresented minority engineering
new freshmen MEP scholars. The program replaces NACME's Vanguard
Scholarship Program, which has been discontinued (although previously
selected Vanguard Scholars continue to be funded through graduation). For
more information,
contact MEP Director
Dave Aragon at 303-492-2944.
