Both federal and state grants are a type of financial aid which does not have to be repaid.
State funds are available to Colorado residents with financial need. Awards vary in amounts up to $5,000 per year, depending upon students' needs and the funding available from the State of Colorado.
This federally-funded assistance is available to students to help with college expenses. Awards vary, depending on the amount of support your family can provide. A Federal formula derived from Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) determines the size of your award.
Federal Pell Grants are intended to build a base of financial support that can be supplemented with other kinds of assistance if necessary. For more information click here.
If you have great financial need, as determined by the Financial Aid office, you may be eligible for these federal funds. They are awarded to a limited number of students based on specific criteria. For more information click here.
