The CU/Western Partnership honors the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) and Central Plains (CP) Tuition Discount Program which allows domestic nonresident students to pay 150% of in-state tuition based on state of residence. It is awarded via a scholarship directly from the College of Engineering and Applied Science and is available only for students participating in the partnership program. The University of Colorado Boulder as a whole does not participate in the WUE or CP program. Information on eligibility can be found on Western’s Tuition Discount Program website.
