| The College Opportunity
Fund is the process by which Colorado provides state financial
support to eligible students for higher education. It was created
by an Act of the Colorado State Legislature and signed into law
by Governor Owens in May 2004.
In the past, the state gave money directly to
the colleges. Now, if you authorize
use of the stipend for any given term, the college you are attending
will receive
the funding, and you will see it appear as a credit on your tuition
bill.
Students – you must apply
for the College Opportunity Fund, or you’ll pay more of your
tuition bill.
- You only have to apply once, and you
will receive the stipend every term that you take eligible undergraduate
courses, and have not met your 145 credithour life time limit.
- There are no income qualifications for undergraduate
students attending a public institution.
- You must be eligible for in-state tuition and
attending one of the participating state schools as an undergraduate
student.
- For participating private colleges, students
must be Pell-eligible to be eligible for the College Opportunity
Fund.
- You can apply for your stipend online.
