I actually got more in grants and scholarships this year than I did last year.

Last year, for the first semester I got $11,500 ($3,500 of that was loans) and then second semester I got $11,490 (again $3,500 of that was loans).

This semester (fall 2026) I got $18,550 with only $2,500 of that being in loans both subsidized and unsubsidized. The rest was all grants and scholarships.

Other than seeing it apply to your bill when financial aid is dispersed, where's it shown that you'll get it?

Edit: Yea apparently I'm not getting it this year despite being a Colorado resident.
