Outreach and Community Engagement

The Colorado Department of Higher Education’s Outreach and Community Engagement team works directly with school districts, educators, foster care students, students and families in navigating the questions that come as students decide on a path beyond high school.

The team assists Coloradans in completing financial aid applications, provides information on grants, scholarships and other funding sources, career planning, filling out college applications and highlights the importance of pursuing a postsecondary path.

Our team is available to help with back-to-school nights, parent nights, college fairs and other events and presentations. The team utilizes My Colorado Journey to connect educators, professionals, students and job seekers with free education and career planning and support resources through a guided process that drives action and goal completion.
