FLC TUITION PROMISE: We are committed to providing Colorado residents from all economic backgrounds the opportunity to pursue a four-year degree. With the FLC Tuition Promise, we will cover the tuition for any admitted Colorado resident whose family income is $60,000 or less. First, we will use federal, state, or institutional grants and scholarships—like the Pell Grant, Colorado Student Grant, or College Opportunity Fund to cover tuition. If your award through these programs does not equal the full cost of your tuition, we will make up the difference. If tuition increases, your financial aid will increase with it.
NATIVE AMERICAN TUITION WAIVER: Approximately 35% of FLC students are Native American or Alaska Native, representing 170 nations, tribes, and villages. FLC consistently ranks as one of the most culturally diverse colleges, and its faculty, staff, and administration work to create a living and learning space supportive to the needs of all FLC students—one more reason FLC is a great choice for your college education. Member of US federally recognized Native American Tribes or Alaska Native Villages attend FLC tuition free.
