Colorado prepaid tuition fund ends as higher education costs rise
The Colorado Prepaid Tuition fund closes amid rising college costs and slashed state funding. Tuition soared 36 percent at University of Colorado Boulder, 66 percent at Metropolitan State University of Denver, and 55 percent at Colorado State University over five years, while state support fell from 706 million to 513 million. CollegeInvest chief Angela Baier calls the plan "nice but naive" and warns this signals broader higher education funding crises and the need for tuition restraint.
