UNIVERSITY LAUNCHES LYNX UP: A SCHOLARSHIP CAMPAIGN TO LIFT STUDENT SUCCESS More than 80% of CU Denver freshmen work while going to school, and 63% have financial needs even after the help of aid and loans. That’s why we LYNX UP. In February 2018, CU Denver unveiled its LYNX UP scholarship campaign to faculty and staff in anticipation of a public launch. With a goal of raising $15 million in contributed support for scholarships over three years, LYNX UP will substantially boost the university’s ability to continue to attract talented and deserving students, ease their financial burdens, and help them reach their educational goals. The campus launch resulted in a tripling of faculty and staff giving while overall the initiative has raised nearly $10 million to date.
