? Is Dual Enrollment (PSEO) for me?

? Who pays what?
If you complete Dual Enrollment courses with a “C” or better, your School District will pay for your tuition. You are responsible for payment of all other fees (dual enrollment fee, student fees, enrollment fees, high cost program fees and books). Students who do not successfully complete dual enrollment courses are responsible for all expenses.
? Do I have to apply for the Colorado Opportunity Fund or pay $89.00 per credit out of my own pocket?
That's right – The Colorado Opportunity Fund (COF) was created by the Colorado Legislature to provide financial support for eligible students for higher education but you have to apply to get the stipend. Funds are not income based - apply for the fund before registering for classes at www.CollegeinColorado.org
