The College Opportunity Fund is a Colorado state benefit for in-state undergraduate students enrolled in college classes that reduces Colorado residents' college tuition. Just like a grant, you don't have to pay it back.
COF provides students with 145 credit hours to use at any Colorado college. If additional credits are needed, FLC may grant them up to an extra year. Students requiring additional credits after the Fort Lewis College appeal process can submit an appeal through the State of Colorado.
