What is the Colorado Opportunity Fund?

The College Opportunity Fund (COF), created by the Colorado Legislature, provides a stipend to eligible undergraduate students. The stipend pays a portion of your total in-state tuition when you attend a participating Colorado college.

Eligible undergraduate students must apply, be admitted and enroll at a participating college to receive this benefit. Both new and continuing students are eligible for the stipend.

Qualifying students may use the stipend for eligible undergraduate classes. The stipend is paid on a per credit hour basis directly to the college at which the student is enrolled. The credit-hour amount is set annually by the General Assembly.

  • Concurrent Enrollment students are required to sign up for and authorize the use of COF.

  • CE students or their parent/guardian will receive a bill (and may be subject to collections at the end of each term) for the amount of COF if the COF stipend is not applied to the student's college account

  • CE course are used towards the 145-hour lifetime-credit-hour cap

  • CE students have the option to apply for COF as a part of their Arapahoe Community College (ACC) admissions online application (Option 1) or by applying directly at: https://cof.college-assist.org/ (Option 2)
