  Students who qualify for the Native American tuition classification legislation (23-7-112), are also eligible to apply for the Colorado Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend, and other state-funded financial aid and private financial aid programs.

  The Colorado Opportunity Fund stipend was established by the Colorado legislature to reduce the cost of tuition for Colorado undergraduate students attending certain colleges in Colorado.

  You can register for the stipend online at . If you do not apply for the stipend, you will pay a higher in-state tuition rate.
