Matching Student Scholarship Grants (MSS Grants) are designed to increase the amount of scholarship giving available for postsecondary students in Colorado. MSS Grants provide funding for tuition assistance-defined as financial assistance to an eligible student of an eligible institution, including such financial assistance as is necessary to pay the costs of tuition, fees, books, housing, food, and transportation – for students whose household incomes are determined to be between 0 and 250% of the maximum permissible income for the purpose of determining eligibility for PELL grants; are in a rigor-based student success program; are classified as Colorado residents for tuition purposes; and are attending public vocational schools, community colleges, four-year institutions of higher education, and research institutions in Colorado. The multi-year grants are distributed to eligible counties, institutions of higher education and community workforce programs.
