***The State of Colorado historically subsidized higher education for in-state students by giving money directly to the colleges. In 2004 the Colorado Legislature enacted a new law establishing the College Opportunity Fund (“COF”). Under this law, the State will give this money for the subsidy to students by sending it to the institution the student designates. This money, known as College Opportunity Fund stipend, will be applied to an in-state student’s tuition if the student applies for and authorizes its use. The college you are attending will receive the money and it will appear as a credit on your tuition bill. Beginning with fall term 2010, the College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend is $62.00 per credit hour. Please review your bill before each term ends and ensure your COF stipend funding has been correctly applied to your student account.
