Eligible students must reside within the local tax district, be classified as Colorado residents, and enroll in a degree or certificate program. The program supports students taking at least six credits per semester during their initial year of study. Funding amounts scale based on the number of credits a student takes, with disbursements split equally between the fall and spring semesters. Because the award is applied automatically to qualifying student accounts, there is no separate application or financial aid form required to receive these funds.

    • College 1st year
    • Usable at: 2-year college, public college

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
