This website has information about Colorado ASSET, which allows eligible students without documentation to pay in-state, rather than out-of-state tuition, as well as receive the College Opportunity Fund stipend at Colorado public colleges. This site will help undocumented students and families, along with the professionals assisting them, to understand and take advantage of ASSET.
Every public college and university has a website with information on ASSET. Here’s a few samples from local schools:
University of Colorado – Boulder
Colorado State University – Ft. Collins
Metropolitan State University of Denver
University of Northern Colorado
University of Colorado – Denver
