Planning ahead can help you get a head start on the path to college. The sooner you begin understanding and preparing for the financial requirements of college, the more options you'll find to help pay for it. Financial aid can make up the difference between what your family can afford to pay and what college costs. Aid may be awarded based on need or merit (talent, academic performance, etc).

CollegeInColorado.org discusses all types of financial aid including scholarships, grants, loans and work-study.

If you’re a Colorado 7th, 8th, or 9th grade student, you have the opportunity to apply to become a CollegeInvest Early Achiever with the CollegeInvest Early Achievers Scholarship (formerly the College In Colorado Scholarship).
