Colorado ranks in the top five states nationwide for the greatest
number of degree holders per capita, yet only one in five Colorado
ninth-grade students will earn a college degree, ranking the state
in the bottom quartile nationally. College In Colorado was
initiated by the Department of Higher Education (DHE), which serves
the citizens of the state of Colorado by promoting access to,
affordability of, and success in higher education for all students.
College In Colorado is charged with helping all Coloradans explore
career and education pathways, break down barriers to postsecondary
attainment, and create a plan for their postsecondary and workforce
success.
A cornerstone of the campaign, www.CollegeInColorado.org, offers
a one-stop resource to help students and parents plan, apply and
pay for college.
