WHAT IS IT? The College Opportunity Fund (COF), created by the Colorado Legislature, provides a stipend to eligible undergraduate students. The stipend pays a portion of your total in-state tuition when you attend a Colorado participating public institution or at participating private school.

ELIGIBILITY Eligible students include undergraduates classified as in-state 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. Students without documentation may be eligible for the COF; see requirements at CICColoradoASSET.org.
