College Opportunity Fund

Qualifying students may use the stipend for eligible undergraduate classes. The stipend is paid on a per credit hour basis to the institution at which the student is enrolled. For the 2013-2014 school year, the tuition stipend equals $64 per credit hour for students attending a participating Colorado public college or university. For example, if a student takes 15 credit hours per semester, that student will receive a stipend in the amount of $1,920 for the year (30 credit hours). Students that attend a Colorado participating private university receive half the amount per credit hour in stipend funding ($32.00 per credit hour for the 2013-2014 school year). The amount of per credit hour funding is set annually by the Colorado legislature.
