The College Opportunity Fund
How The College Opportunity Fund Tuition Stipend Works: Eligible Students, Public Colleges, Academic Year 2011-2012
Tuition is based on full-time enrollment of 15 credit hours per semester for the full academic year (not including summer session) for Colorado residents during the 2011-2012 academic year. The College Opportunity Fund stipend is $62 per credit hour ($1,860 for 30 hours) during the 2011-2012 academic year at participating public institutions or $31 at participating private schools.
There may be additional costs and fees for specific courses or programs. The fee listed for Community College System schools is an estimate, since fees among these schools vary.
What Is It?
The College Opportunity Trust Fund (COF), created by the Colorado Legislature, provides a stipend to eligible undergraduate students. The stipend pays a portion of your total resident tuition when you attend a Colorado public institution or a participating private institution.
Eligibility
Eligible students include undergraduates classified as Colorado resident students for tuition purposes and enrolled at state colleges and universities. Additionally, undergraduate students enrolled at participating private colleges or universities may be eligible if the college or university is approved for the program by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and the student meets certain eligibility requirements.
For more information, visit the College Opportunity Fund website.
