CC Launches Pledge to Increase Affordability

Pilot program boosts access for low- and middle-income students

科罗拉多大学 is launching 科罗拉多誓言, a historic undertaking to address affordability concerns in higher education. CC's Colorado Pledge is a financial aid initiative designed to ensure 科罗拉多大学 is as affordable for Colorado students from low- and middle-income families as the state's flagship public university.

The Colorado Pledge is a pilot program aimed at supporting Colorado families with adjusted gross incomes below $200,000(增至250美元),(2021年8月). All students admitted to the next fall's incoming class and transfer students who meet the eligibility criteria will receive this award. Early Action and Early Decision deadlines are Nov. 1.

"科罗拉多大学 is one of only a handful of colleges in the nation to consistently meet the full demonstrated need of every admitted student," says 科罗拉多大学 President Jill Tiefenthaler. 《赌博正规的十大网站》 goes one step further and is a bold initiative aimed at making a private education as affordable, 或者更实惠, than many public universities."

科罗拉多大学's pledge is that:

  • For students from Colorado families with an adjusted gross income of less than $60,000, there will be no parental contribution for tuition, 房间, 在CC租船.
  • For students from Colorado families with an adjusted gross income between $60,000元及125元,000, there will be no parental contribution for tuition at CC; they will only pay for 房间 and board.
  • For students from Colorado families with an adjusted gross income between $125,000元及200元,000(增至250美元),(2021年8月), CC pledges that the parental contribution for a 科罗拉多大学 education will be the same or less than the cost of attendance at the flagship state university in Colorado.

CC's strategic plan calls for an additional $20 million in fundraising, which will allow the college to endow the program for future students, thus opening the doors more widely to a 科罗拉多大学 education for the best and brightest students in the state. The college already has received more than $3.5 million from generous donors, including a gift that has been issued as a challenge to other donors to match their own contributions of $50,000 or more to 科罗拉多誓言.

Currently, about 15 percent of CC students are from Colorado. The pledge comes as 科罗拉多大学 seeks to cultivate a more diverse student body across the socio-economic spectrum. By making the cost of attending 科罗拉多大学 as affordable as the state's flagship university, CC can attract and enroll a higher percentage of students from low- and middle-income Colorado families.

"We fully recognize that middle- and upper middle-income families have been asked to contribute a high percentage of their take-home pay,马克·哈奇说。, vice president for enrollment management at 科罗拉多大学. 《赌博正规的十大网站》, 对很多家庭来说, will reduce this contribution significantly and will make 科罗拉多大学 an attractive option for many more students."

科罗拉多大学, which was founded two years before Colorado became a state, has always had a strong commitment to meeting the full demonstrated need of all admitted students. The Colorado Pledge is about affordability; it's a commitment to students in Colorado that CC is not only the most selective college or university in the region but is just as affordable and accessible.

The college administers a financial aid budget that exceeds $40 million annually, and approximately 50 percent of 科罗拉多大学 students receive scholarship support each year.

As part of Building on Originality: The Campaign for 科罗拉多大学, a $435 million fundraising initiative that includes a $100 million effort to secure funds for financial aid, the college is raising $20 million specifically to support 科罗拉多誓言.
