Colorado Operation Recognition High School Diplomas for Wartime Veterans
A Colorado school board may award a diploma to a qualifying veteran age 60 or older who left high school to serve during the statutory World War II, Korea or Vietnam periods and has no diploma. Honorable discharge or the statutory discharged-LGBT-veteran route and current or former district residence are required. GED holders can qualify, and family or guardians may request a posthumous award.
