§ 23-3-102 — Legislative declaration

Colorado § 23-3-102

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 23: Postsecondary Education
• Art.: Higher and Career and Technical Education

Text

The general assembly finds and declares
that the provision of a higher or career and technical education for all residents of
this state who desire such an education and are properly qualified therefor is
important to the welfare and security of this state and nation and, consequently,
serves an important public purpose and that many qualified students are deterred
by financial considerations from completing their education, with a consequent
irreparable loss to the state and nation of talents vital to welfare and security. The
number of qualified persons who desire higher or career and technical education is
increasing rapidly, and the physical facilities, faculties, and staffs of the institutions
of higher education operated by the state will have to be expanded greatly to
accommodate such persons, with an attendant sharp increase in the cost of
educating such persons. A system of financial assistance through guaranteed loans
for qualified residents of college age will enable them to attend qualified
institutions of their choice.
