## About this scholarship

This state-established program provides financial assistance to qualifying undergraduate students from lower- and middle-income families in Colorado.

To qualify, students must attend a public postsecondary institution in the state within two years of completing high school or earning an equivalent credential. The assistance is available for the student's first sixty-five earned credits, excluding any credits gained through advanced placement, international baccalaureate, military service, or prior learning assessments.
