This program provides an amount of money per credit hour paid by the State of Colorado on behalf of eligible undergraduate resident students. The dollar amount of the stipend is set annually by the Colorado General Assembly; the per credit hour amount will be fifty percent (50%) of the amount set by the General Assembly for public institutions. The number of stipend credit hours is capped at 145 credit hours, with an additional 30 hours of undergraduate credits available. For Regis University undergraduate students the stipend will be awarded through the financial aid process.

To be eligible for the COF grant, undergraduate students at Regis University must:

• apply for the stipend through the College Assist website
• be a documented Colorado resident
• be a graduate of a Colorado high school or has successfully completed a non-public home-based education program in Colorado or received a GED in Colorado
• demonstrates financial need through the student’s eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant program (student must complete the FAFSA)
• have authorized Regis to receive COF funding on his or her behalf
• meets any other eligibility requirements established by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE).

College Assist administers the COF program, and students need to apply at College Assist only once in their lifetime.

In order to document Colorado residency, students must complete a current Colorado Residency form. The Authorization to Request COF Stipends form is used to authorize Regis University to apply the student's COF stipends to his or her Regis student account, or to rescind authorization. This form needs to be completed only once while the student is attending Regis University.

Certain courses are not eligible for the COF stipend, such as high school fast track courses, basic skills courses, and graduate courses unless taken for an undergraduate degree.

This is a federally funded program for students with extreme financial need. Application is made by using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Federal legislation limits Federal Pell Grant funds to students who have not earned a bachelor's degree. The student's Expected Family Contribution, estimated costs, and enrollment status determine the amount of the Federal Pell Grant.

The Federal Pell Grant will be disbursed only if you have not already received the lifetime maximum amount which is the equivalent of twelve semesters full-time enrollment awards.The FAFSA processor will calculate the percentage amount you have received, and the maximum is capped at 600%. The percentage received is based on the annual award at full-time enrollment status. For example, if you are awarded full-time for the two semesters in the 2011-2012 academic year, the percentage used is 100%. If you are awarded for only 9 credits for two semesters, the percentage used for the academic year is 75%.

This is a federally funded program for students with extreme financial need. Application is made by using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Federal legislation limits Federal Pell Grant funds to students who have not earned a bachelor's degree. The student's Expected Family Contribution, estimated costs, and enrollment status determine the amount of the Federal Pell Grant.

Beginning in Summer 2012, the Federal Pell Grant will be disbursed only if you have not already received the lifetime maximum amount which is the equivalent of twelve semesters full-time enrollment awards.

The FAFSA processor will begin to calculate the percentage amount you have received, and the maximum is capped at 600%. The percentage received is based on the annual award at full-time enrollment status. For example, if you are awarded full-time for the two semesters in the 2011-2012 academic year, the percentage used is 100%. If you are awarded for only 9 credits for two semesters, the percentage used for the academic year is 75%.

This cap on Federal Pell Grants was created by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112-74). This change affects all students regardless of when or where they received their first Federal Pell Grant. Students who are currently receiving the Federal Pell Grant in the 2011-2012 academic year and who have already used 600% of their Pell Grant eligibility will no longer be eligible to receive a Pell Grant starting Summer 2012.
