Undergraduate Student Definitions

College Opportunity Fund (COF)
The College Opportunity Fund – referred to as COF – is the way Colorado provides financial support for resident undergraduate students. COF was created in 2004 and began providing stipends in fall 2005. The Colorado Legislature sets the COF stipend amount each year and the stipend amount is the same for all students, regardless of which college they attend. For current tuition and pricing, visit www.unco.edu/costs.
To be eligible to receive the COF stipend, students must be classified as residents of Colorado and be enrolled as an undergraduate. Students must also complete a one time on-line application at https://cof.college-assist.org/ and must authorize payment of the COF stipend to UNC during the registration process.
In order to use the COF stipend, students must be registered for a course before the course census date. There may, however, be legitimate administrative reasons that may allow COF eligibility. UNC adheres to the Colorado Department of Higher Education College Opportunity Fund Guidelines, Revised October 2014.
If an eligible student applies for COF and authorizes payment to UNC, the stipend will be paid to UNC for the student, and the authorized amount will be applied directly to the student’s bill. Additional information regarding COF can be found on the UNC website at http://www.unco.edu/cof/.
