Colorado Financial Aid

For more information on any of the below programs, please visit the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.

The State of Colorado provides grants for Colorado residents who have financial need based upon their Expected Family Contributions. Each year, the General Assembly appropriates funds for state financial aid programs, and the Colorado Commission on Higher Education allocates those funds to participating colleges and universities, and vocational and career schools. The schools award the funds based upon their own policies and guidelines from CCHE. It is important that you meet the school's priority deadline for applications in order to be considered for grant funds.

 

Awards for any of these grants generally range from $500 to $1,500 depending upon the funds the schools receive, their packaging policies, and your enrollment status. The legal maximums are greater, but schools seldom receive enough funds to award higher amounts.

Colorado Student Grant (CSG) - Colorado Student Grants are awarded to undergraduate students who are Colorado residents with high financial need.


Colorado Graduate Grant - Colorado Graduate Grants are awarded to graduate students who are Colorado residents with the greatest financial need.


Colorado Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Grant (CLEAP) - CLEAP Grants are awarded to undergraduate students who are Colorado residents with a high financial need. CLEAP Grants are composed of both federal and state funds, and the overall funding level is low.


Supplemental Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Grant (SLEAP) - SLEAP Grants are based upon supplement funds received for CLEAP and have the same general eligibility requirements. SLEAP Grants may be targeted to specific programs, such as teaching.
