Colorado Residency for Tuition Purposes for Nonresident Service Members, Veterans and their Families

Colorado public-college tuition law has military exceptions for qualifying active-duty members, Colorado National Guard members, veterans and family members. The route depends on assignment, physical residence, service or relationship documents. Apply through the campus residency office; resident tuition classification does not itself provide free tuition or resident financial aid.
