The University of Northern Colorado is launching a new program that will make attending college a reality for many Coloradans. The “UNC Tuition Promise” is a new program that will cover standard tuition and mandatory fees for students who qualify.
Students who qualify will be able to take up to 16 credits or a maximum of $5,836 per semester, starting in the Fall of 2024.
“It was really great to hear,” said Alondra Aguirre, a senior at the university.
Word is spreading quickly around the UNC campus, as more than 1,000 current students will qualify for the program.
To qualify, students must be Colorado residents or eligible ASSET students. They must complete FAFSA (or CASFA) on time. They must apply and receive the College Opportunity Fund, be enrolled in at least 12 credits, have a satisfactory academic progress and and adjusted gross income of no more than $65,000 or a student aid index of 3,000 or less.
