The State of Colorado historically subsidized higher education for in-state students by giving money directly to the colleges.  In 2004, the Colorado Legislature enacted a new law establishing the College Opportunity Fund (COF).  Under this new law, starting in the Fall Semester, 2005, the State will give this money for the subsidy to students by sending it to the institution the student designates.  This money, known as College Opportunity Fund stipends, will be applied to an in-state student's tuition if the student applies for and authorizes the use of the stipend.  The college you are attending will receive the money and it will appear as a credit on your tuition bill.  Currently the College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend is estimated to be worth $80.00 per credit hour.
