Does the College Opporunity Fund Replace Financial Aid?
The College Opportunity Fund stipend is not need-based or a grant and does not impact eligibility for student financial aid. It is a payment from the State of Colorado made directly to the student's institution on his/her behalf to cover part of the costs of higher education. The stipend does not cover the student's share of in-state tuition. The stipend offsets the student's COF tuition assessment only. Any financial aid received will be applied to the student's share of in-state tuition.
