Need Based Program
Undergraduate Students• In 2007 the Commission approved a new need based
financial aid model known as Colorado’s College Responsibility Program (CCRP). Under the CCRP awards a minimum grant to Level 1 students.
• The program was designed to ensure that high need students would have access to financial aid regardless of when they applied.
Graduate Students• Level 1 students enrolled in SMART fields and medical
fields are eligible-no set minimum.

CCRP Model
• A Level 1 student is defined as 150% of the Maximum Pell EFC. In the current year, the maximum EFC for Pell eligibility is $4,617, so a Level 1 student is any student with an EFC less than or equal to $6,926.
• Currently, Level 1 students receive a minimum of $850/year if enrolled full-time. Institutions have the flexibility to offer pro-rated awards for part-time students.
• Next year, the maximum EFC for Pell Eligibility will be $5,273, opening Level 1 to students with an EFC up to $7,910.

Allocations to Institutions
• Undergraduate Need Based Aid:– Allocations are made based upon an index using
the average Cost of Attendance by Tier. There are three tiers of institutions in the formula; Tier 1 is Research, Tier 2 is State Colleges and Tier 3 is Community Colleges.
– The allocation is then driven by the number of eligible Level 1 FTE projected to enroll based upon the prior three years.

Flexibility Built into Formula
• Amount per student Tier 3 $ 967
Tier 2 $1,179 Tier 1 $1,312
• Institutions with more part-time enrollment have added flexibility

Allocations of Other State Aid
• Graduate Need Based Aid: Allocated based on the number of eligible FTE enrolled in SMART programs.
• Work Study: Allocations are distributed based upon a base year and have been increased/decreased proportionally as the appropriation has changed.
• Leveraging Education Assistance Programs (LEAP)-Federal grants matched by state aid to high need students.
• Merit Aid was zeroed out for the FY2010 budget as was the pre-collegiate scholarship.

How Do Students Access State Aid?
• Students must be Colorado residents to receive state funded aid.
• Once a student completes a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the institution has the information needed to award the student.
• Eligible students will receive any state financial aid as part of their award package from institutions.

Beyond State Aid
• Federal Aid (Pell Grants, Federal Work Study, and federal categorical grants), institutional aid, private scholarships, and loans are also available.
• The financial aid office will package grant aid first, then work-study, then loans. If a student receives a scholarship after the FA office has packaged the aid, the FA office will back out the least desirable aid first (higher interest or unsubsidized loans).
