Military Scholarships at Colorado Colleges?

Hey folks, I'm a military dependent planning to apply to colleges in Colorado. I'm curious if anyone knows about any scholarships or financial incentives these colleges offer for military dependents. Really appreciate any insight!

Absolutely, many Colorado colleges offer financial aid specifically for military dependents. Here are a few to consider:

1. University of Colorado Boulder: They offer the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can provide additional funds for your education if you're eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Make sure to check their website for the eligibility criteria and application process.

2. Colorado State University: CSU offers the Commitment to Colorado aid package, which is designed for students who come from lower- and middle-income families. The exact amount of aid you receive will be determined by your personal financial circumstances. While this aid package is not limited to military dependents, it can be an excellent assistance for many.

3. University of Denver: This institution participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program as well.

Each of these universities also has a dedicated veterans services office or financial aid support for military-dependent students. Reach out to those offices for the most accurate and updated information. Also, don't forget to explore opportunities not tied to a specific school, such as scholarships offered through military aid organizations.

Another thing you might want to consider is the Colorado GI Promise. If your parent has served in the military, you might be eligible for in-state tuition, which can significantly reduce the overall cost.

Remember that you should still fill out the FAFSA to be considered for additional federal aid, regardless of any military-specific aid you may receive! Every little bit of aid helps for affording college!

Good luck!
