Next Steps After You Apply
After you submit your application for admission, it's important to file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA gives you access to grants, scholarships and work-study positions to help you pay for college and put a degree within reach. Don't miss this step!
If you don't qualify for federal financial aid, you may qualify for state aid through the Colorado Application for State Financial Aid (CASFA).
