§ 23-3.7-101 — Legislative declaration

Colorado § 23-3.7-101

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 23: Postsecondary Education
• Art.: Tuition Assistance Grant Program

Text

The general assembly hereby finds,
determines, and declares: That the costs of education at Colorado's public and
nonpublic institutions of higher education have increased dramatically in recent
years; that while the increased costs of education at public institutions have been
defrayed by state support of such institutions Coloradans wishing to attend
nonpublic institutions of higher education in the state face a serious financial
burden; that the decline of Colorado's nonpublic institutions of higher education
due to an absence of students able to bear the costs of education would increase
the number of students seeking admission to state-funded institutions; and that the
preservation of Colorado's traditional diversity in higher education and access to a
variety of educational opportunities for Coloradans of all backgrounds and
resources require that the general assembly act to assist in-state students in
meeting the increased costs of education at Colorado's nonpublic institutions of
higher education.
